Is there a way within VBA code to remove or disable the delete function when someone right clicks on a tab within a worksheet?

Thanks

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
You don't need VBA.

Just use Protect Workbook for Structure

Thanks Scott for that information. Here is the problem when I try that, we have other macros that are linked to buttons which create new sheets. When I protect the workbook structure it does not allow me to use those other macros (buttons) to create sheets. Any suggestions?

Unprotect the workbook temporarily in code, and then reprotect it when you are done.

For example,

Code:
Sub test()
ThisWorkbook.Unprotect
Worksheets.Add
ThisWorkbook.Protect , True
End Sub
