Hi,

I need to disble all Excel's shortcuts such as ctrl+c, etc. I there an
easier way than looping through all the combinations of alt, ctrl, shift and
each key combination and disabling them with application.onkey?

thanks
Chris

You can use Onkey (see VBA Help)

Try this two macro's

Sub UIT()
Dim K, Key, Key2, i As Integer
On Error Resume Next


For Each Key In Array("+", "^", "%", "+^", "+%", "^%", "+^%")


K = Array("{BS}", "{BREAK}", "{CAPSLOCK}", "{CLEAR}", "{DEL}", _
"{DOWN}", "{END}", "{ENTER}", "~", "{ESC}", "{HELP}", "{HOME}", _
"{INSERT}", "{LEFT}", "{NUMLOCK}", "{PGDN}", "{PGUP}", _
"{RETURN}", "{RIGHT}", "{SCROLLLOCK}", "{TAB}", "{UP}")


For Each Key2 In K
Application.OnKey Key & Key2, ""
Next Key2


For i = 0 To 255
Application.OnKey Key & Chr$(i), ""
Next i


For i = 1 To 15
Application.OnKey Key & "{F" & i & "}", ""
Application.OnKey "{F" & i & "}", ""
Next i
Next
Application.OnKey "{PGDN}", ""
Application.OnKey "{PGUP}", ""
End Sub


Sub AAN()
Dim K, Key, Key2, i As Integer
On Error Resume Next


For Each Key In Array("+", "^", "%", "+^", "+%", "^%", "+^%")


K = Array("{BS}", "{BREAK}", "{CAPSLOCK}", "{CLEAR}", "{DEL}", _
"{DOWN}", "{END}", "{ENTER}", "~", "{ESC}", "{HELP}", "{HOME}", _
"{INSERT}", "{LEFT}", "{NUMLOCK}", "{PGDN}", "{PGUP}", _
"{RETURN}", "{RIGHT}", "{SCROLLLOCK}", "{TAB}", "{UP}")


For Each Key2 In K
Application.OnKey Key & Key2
Next Key2


For i = 0 To 255
Application.OnKey Key & Chr$(i)
Next i


For i = 1 To 15
Application.OnKey Key & "{F" & i & "}"
Application.OnKey "{F" & i & "}"
Next i
Next
Application.OnKey "{PGDN}"
Application.OnKey "{PGUP}"
End Sub
