Hi,

Is there a way in VBA to prevent the user from deliberately deleting or re-arranging worksheets using Excel VBA 2013 ? Obviously, I need to prevent users from trying to mess up with the application.

Can someone please help. I have found several ways by searching for these topics, suggesting several different approaches, all sound confusing and hard to understand. Please help!

Thank you.

The code I supplied was not intended to go into a ThisWorkbook sheet, just a standard Module sheet as you've discovered.

When I referred to ThisWorkbook, I was referring to the code that read,

With ThisWorkbook

...

End With

, which might have to be changed to,

With ActiveWorkbook

...

End With

, or...

Set wb = Workbooks.open(<some workbook>)

With wb

...

End with

    You will want to protect the workbook structure. If you have to manipulate the structure within VBA, un-protect it with VBA, modify it and then re-protect it.

    Hi Jim,

    You suggest protecting the whole workbook, but the workbook I am working on is macro enabled and thus some of the macros do not work properly under workbook protection. Is'nt there any other way through code to do this ?

    Appreciate your help.
