Disable save from Ctrl S

  Asked By: Gerritt    Date: Sep 15    Category: MS Office    Views: 877
  

I am using the following code to disable the "Save" in File\Save. It
disables the Save but Ctrl S is working.


Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Dim oCtrl As Office.CommandBarControl
For Each oCtrl In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=3)
oCtrl.Enabled = False
Next oCtrl
End Sub
I am enabling the same on Workbook Deactivate event. In the similar
manner Save as is also disabled.

How can I also disable saving a workbook from Ctrl S?

I've used a Before_Save workbook  event, and
used "cancel=true" to disable  the save.

I capture the userid and check it against my own
so that *I* am allowed to save  changes, so that I can do development work.

One warning though... if a user knows how to create a macro with
Application.EnableEvents = False,
then this Before_Save event  will not function.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand.
You said "Thanks it is working"... ok, so far, so good.
But then you said "but I am able to save  the code  also".

I'm not sure what you mean. Is this a question?
A problem? Are you having some kind of undesireable result?

Is it working  and you're good to go, or is there yet more to do?

OK... is that what you were WANTING?
As I mentioned in my response, in the Before_Save event,
I checked the current userid to see if it was MINE.
If it was, I allowed a save.
If not, then I used cancel = true.

Another option would be to create a couple of subs:

Sub Event_Disable()
Application.EnableEvents = False
End Sub
'---------------------------------------
Sub Event_Enable()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Use the Event_Disable to "turn off" event  handling.
Then you can save  the workbook.
(use Event_Enable to turn it back on for testing)

I could not understand the User name option. Now I am also
using the user name and able to save.
The final code  is (for other users)

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
a = Environ("Username")
'msgbox a
If a = "stalukder" Then ' Put the user name here. Check the same with the
message box.
Cancel = False
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
