Prevent copying sheet
Is there a way, via VB code, to prevent someone from
copying information (individual cells) and pasting them into another document. My spreadsheet is on a secure internet system and is password protected.The problem we are encountering is people copying selected cells from the spreadsheet, pasting them into another spreadsheet, and them making formula changes. This is what we need to avoid to ensure everyone is using the same spreadsheet. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated |

Prevent copying sheet
I found the answer, just un-select the box in the
Protection list for "select locked cells". Too easy. -----Original Message----- Is there a way, via VB code, to prevent someone from copying information (individual cells) and pasting them into another document.

Prevent copying sheet
TOOLS[/b] *PROTECTION* *PROTECT SHEE
Play around with the settings until you get exactly what you're lookin for. Right click a range of cells and select [b]Format Cells*. Select th last tab, *Protection*. Hidden cells have their formulas hidden wen th cell is selected. Locking a cell just sets the locked flag on the cell to be manuipulated by Sheet Protection. -Gitcyphe -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
