I have an issue that I am not sure how to address. I am not a
developer but tinker around with code that I find on the WEB. I have
a worksheet that I need to disable the copy-past function. I have
found some code which does it very nicely if macros are enabled so I
need to force the user to enable macros in order for the disable
macro to run. I have also found code to force macros as well. The
problem is I am not sure how to combine the two. The macro fails at
the
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
The errror that I am getting "Ambiguous name detected:
Workbook_BeforeClose"
Here is all of the code
