Disable scrolling when macros disabled
 

Hi,

When my wb is opened with macros disabled only one sheet is visible. I
want to prevent the user from scrolling on this sheet, which i can do
when macros are enabled but not when discabled. Is there a way to do
this? (I tried setting the scroll area but this doesn't seem to take
effect when macros are disabled).

not clear what exactly you need.... but would zoom page to about 70% then
freeze panes in the very bottom right hand conner. then zoom back to 100%?

keep it freeze(unable to scroll) if macro's enabled it will be able to scroll


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Range("v60").Select

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False
End Sub

Render the workbook useless if users disable macros.

In a beforeclose event, hide all sheets but a dummy sheet with the message "By
disabling macros you have made this workbook useless. Close and enable macros
to continue."

When users enable macros have workbook_open code that hides dummy sheet and
makes your working sheet visible with the scrollarea set as you wish.
