Can one stop/prohibit users inserting new lines and columns into a workbook
in VBA?

How would one proceed?

You could also just protect the sheet with a password. For your VBA
code to work you'd probably need to unprotect the sheet at the
beginning of your code and re-protect it at the end.
ActiveSheet.Unprotect/Protect

You can just record a macro doing the operation manually (right click
on the sheet tab) to see what the options are.

Thanks, this is a very interesting routine that allows me to limit the
visible screen area. I've filed this for future use.

However, I could still create new rows and columns, the others simply
shifted lower or to the right outside the visible area.

Is it possible to actually stop the insert row/insert column functions?

Yes, that is an option, but I'd prefer it if I could disable the insert
(and delete) row/column functions via code. Is that possible?
