Disable COPY function

J

J. Joshi

Does anyone know how can I avoid/restrict people Copying-n-
pasting data from my excel spread-sheet. I am trying to
lock down an excel spread-sheet to "Read Only" - in its
true sense and dis-allow even copying data from this sheet
to any other. Basically I want to turn off the COPY
function.

Secondly, if a person saves this sheet locally under
another file name, how would I still disallow the COPY
function. Is there any VBA module (which I can later
password protect) which takes care of this. I do not have
admin rights to set folder/file server permissions and the
hiararchy to go through the hoops is too much.

Bottom line - I just want the users to be able to read the
content of teh file and not be able to do anything else
with it.

Any help will be much appreciated.
