Is there a way to disable the option to send a workbook
as an attachment? If so, how do you do it?

Hi

It is possible(not safe) to disable this option if you want, but why?
You can also send the file outside Excel as a attachment.

Basically, I want to disable it for the user opening the
file to force them to use a command button to send the
workbook.

Ok

This will disable the Send To menu

Sub test()
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30095).Enabled = False
End Sub

This the icon on the Standard Toolbar

Sub test2()
Application.CommandBars("Standard").FindControl(ID:=3738).Enabled = False
End Sub

works like a charm but I had to add a before close event
to re-enable the buttons after I closed the workbook in
question.

thanks a bunch!

I had to add a before close event

You can also use this events in the Thisworkbook module

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()

End Sub



The user can use the buttons then in the other workbooks that are open.
