I have a list of running numbers. every time i need to cut few numbers and paste at another workbook.
the reason for cut is to prevent copy same running number twice or more.

so, i need to disable copy while enabling cut and paste to another workbook.

Thanks
Shan
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
It can be done but the issue will be that if the sheet is protected it will have to remain unprotected till the paste is made. Though the cut/copy paste can be disabled with out protection.

Do you want the option for just disabling Ctrl_C? Would this be for 1 sheet?

OK, there are a few bits

In ThisWorkbook
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub
In the sheet you want this active add
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
With Application
    '.OnKey "^x", "Ctrl_X_Event"
    .OnKey "^c", "Ctrl_C_Event"
    .OnKey "^v", "Ctrl_V_Event"
End With


End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub

In a Module add
Code:
Sub Ctrl_X_Event()


End Sub


Sub Ctrl_C_Event()


End Sub


Sub Ctrl_V_Event()


End Sub


NOTE the option for Ctrl-X is not enabled.

Why do you need to disable anything?

Microsoft already thought about this - already available..
cut with {CTRL} X
paste with {CTRL} V

Are you able to copy/paste in the sheet with the code or is this else where?
Also are you using Ctrl_C and Ctrl_V or menu commands?

Try this version for only 1 sheet not allowing copy/paste

In ThisWorkbook
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
With Application
    '.OnKey "^x", "Ctrl_X_Event"
    .OnKey "^c", "Ctrl_C_Event"
    .OnKey "^v", "Ctrl_V_Event"
End With


End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub

In the sheet to be disabled
Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
With Application
    '.OnKey "^x", "Ctrl_X_Event"
    .OnKey "^c", "Ctrl_C_Event"
    .OnKey "^v", "Ctrl_V_Event"
End With


End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub

In any other sheet in that workbook
Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
With Application
    .OnKey "^x"
    .OnKey "^c"
    .OnKey "^v"
End With


End Sub

In module
Code:
Option Explicit


Sub Ctrl_X_Event()


End Sub


Sub Ctrl_C_Event()
MsgBox "Sorry, COPY is not allowed."
End Sub


Sub Ctrl_V_Event()
MsgBox "Sorry, PASTE is not allowed."
End Sub
