I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I have some simple code that I got help from here and it allows a user to click on a cell then it activates another sheet.
How do I stop anyone from right clicking on tab and looking//amending code.

I would also like to stop anyone being able to cut and paste my worksheet and re manipulating in manner not intended.

Also to stop them inserting rows/columns.

can you disable cut and paste and disable right click on tabs to view code?

any help appreciate and hope some of this is possible
regards
ian
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You can lock the VBA project by going to. VB Editor >> Tools >> VBAProject Properties >> Protection then check the lock project for viewing box and enter a password.

To disable cut, copy & paste try this link

VBA Express : Excel - Disable Cut, Copy, Paste

Note: protection in Excel isn't particularly secure, it should really only be used to remind people to please don't do an action or it might break your project.
