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

    Hi Jeeped,

    Thanks for the quick reply. However, VBA flashes an error "Compile Error: Constants, Fixed-Length Strings, Arrays, User-Defined Types and Declared Statements not allowed as Public Members Object Modules" and the very first line of code:

    Public Const csPASSWORD As String = "my_p_word" goes RED as soon as cursor goes on the next line.

    This happens as I put the code into the ThisWorkbook.  But as I put this code into one of the modules, it gives no such error. It does not work on the ThisWorkbook structure.

    Hi Maneesh,

    Jeeped's suggested code should be placed in a standard code module -  not a worksheet module and not  the ThisWorkbook module.

    ===

    Regards,

    Norman
