    Disable Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in Excel

    Hello everyone,

    Is there any way where we can lock the template that our colleagues are using (even through VBA) such that if they use CTRL+A,C or V; excel will prompt that such action is not allowed?

    Basically the objective is to restrict others from copying the template into another sheet since the file is accessible on the same computer.

    Did you even attempt this. It appears to be intuitive if the others worked,

    that would have been nice to know from the onset. Please update your profile to reflect that. You are currently listed as using Office 2010 which is a Windows version.

    I have no experience with MAC OS, so I will leave this for someone else to solve.
