I want to protect my workbook so that when user delete the workbook, a message will prompt to the user and warn him on the deletion. How can i do this ? Thx
Andy, through vba the setattr makes the windows property of the workbook read-only. Makes it hard to overwrite in Excel.
Code:
Sub RdOnly()
SetAttr activeworkbook.fullname, vbReadOnly
End Sub
Manually, which you should do with your sys files (unless you update them a lot), right click on the file in your Windows Explorer, select "Properties," and check the read only checkbox.
Hope this helps.
