Hello All:
I posted this into MS-Excel Functions and didn't get the results. it
seem the inherit functions built in will let you do either or. So I
am wondering if there is VB Solution to this.
when I use the protect sheet function it prevents the users to do just
abt any modification to data and or content to include formatting and
all which is a great function, how ever I need to stop users from
either deleting the tab or copying it(i.e the right click - delete,
re-
name, move or copy) is there any way we can disable this in a
worksheet........

I replied yesterday to this post in excel.functions

Protect the Workbook structure to prevent sheet deletions, moving or
renaming.

But this won't prevent copying selectable cells and pasting to a new
workbook.

Under sheet protection you can make all cells unselectable.

But this won't prevent users from opening a new workbook and linking to your
sheet and workbook.

Did you see it and decide that it wasn't what you wanted to hear?

Yes I did see it and replied. maybe this is a confusion on my part.
there are two particular groups that I was looking at 1)
microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions
2)microsoft.public.excel.programming, my first post was to the
worksheet functions, I thought there might be a VB solution to this,
that is why I posted it under the second one programing, not
realizing that essentially they are he same.

Sorry for the confusion........

I did not get to your reply to me yesterday in excel.functions before

I don't think you will get any VBA method but there are some pretty
knowledgeable people hanging out in programming group.
