    Enabled Macros to disabled copy paste but could just ignore Macros to enabled back

    Hi All,
    I have found VBA code from (https://www.extendoffice.com/documen...opy-paste.html) to disabled copy paste, its working fine for a security reason.
    However, if I just ignore to enable macros, I am are able to use copy paste which I feel not really secured. Any idea how to prevent this?

    Please find attachment. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank-You very much

    Excel is not a secure environment.

    The only way to ensure that people enable macros and, therefore, your restrictions is to make the workbook unusable without enabling macros.

    It's not a simple task although it is doable. You need to research excel vba force macro enabled

    I have a sheet that I think does what you are asking. it forces users to enable macros to continue and requires a worksheet named START that tells the user to enable macros to continue. it also makes sure they save it as a macro enabled sheet. Put this code ThisWorkbook.

    Hi TMS, jamfz,
    Thanks for your help.

    I have found simpler code to force enabled macros when opening worksheet.
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    HTML Code: 

    I will close this thread & mark to SOLVED.

    Thank-You very much
