Hello!

Is there a way to disable the "Debug" option on the Excel Built in Run-time
error Dialog without password-protecting the project?

The reason for this is that I have a workbook that sometimes needs to import
modules, so I can't have the VB Project password protected. However, the
procedures could fail occasionaly, and I want to know about it when it
happens, but I don't want the users accidentally hitting the "Debug" button
which leads them to the VBE.

Any other sugestions to keep users from entering the VBE without having to
password protect the workbook?

Thanks in advance,

Albert C

Hi Albert,

The simplest way would be to create your own error traps. You can have traps
in each sub/function, or just one in the main function call to trap all.
Something like:

Public Sub Main()
On Error Goto MyErrorTrap

line 1
line 2
....


....
line last
Exit Sub
MyErrorTrap:
Call MsgBox("An error occurred, the procedure will now end." & _
VBCrLf & Err.Number & VBCrLf & Err.Description, _
vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "ERROR!")
End Sub

If this sub calls another sub where an error occurs then this trap should
still be called.

Hope this helps,

Sean.
