Protecting an Excel worksheet from being renamed
 

Does anyone know how I can protect a worksheet from being renamed by
the user without stopping him/her from amending (or adding) values to
that worksheet?

All I want to do is to stop renaming!

Don't know if it's the most efficient way, but I have achieved this by:

1) turning off the ribbon (this is in Office '07, there is a similar
capablity with earlier versions);
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"",False)"

2) disable right-click functionality
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = False

3) lock and protect all sheets

I'm no programmer, but was able to do build a VBA solution by searching
through these forums for similar problems & solutions and adapting them.

If your reason for wanting this is that renaming worksheets stops your VBA
code working try using Worksheet.codename in your code rather than
Worksheet.Name.
