How to disable " Send To " menu choice from the file menu
hi,
I am on Excel 2003. I have an issue where certain users are emailing confidential excel spreadsheets to out side entities. I have a question. Can I programmatically disable the " Send To " menu choice from the file menu? Thanks Dave |

How to disable " Send To " menu choice from the file menu
dave -
sorry, i don't know the answer to your question. but assuming somebody else does, what's to stop a user from attaching the spreadsheet to outlook express or some other email program & mailing it that way? excel's unreliability as a secure program is well known on this newsgroup. just search the archives & you will find plenty of posts that state excel shouldn't be used for highly confidental material as it cannot be made secure from determined hackers. emailing spreadsheets out would not be an excel program issue but an internal security issue. susan On Aug 24, 12:52*pm, Dave wrote: hi, I am on Excel 2003.
