    How to prevent users from Showing Formulas

    I have a workbook where it would not be practical to reformat all of the cells in order to hide the formulas, however, i need to be able to hide them from the users.

    I have tried using the If formula below to prevent the Show Formulas function from working but am unsure how to trigger this to run when the button is pressed:

    If ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = True Then
    ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = False

    ElseIf ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = False Then
    ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = False

    Please could someone suggest a fix for me if possible!

    Many thanks!
