Hi, I'm looking for some code to disable the cut,copy and paste buttons
within the toolbar. I've foudn some for the menus, so I assume it is similar.
Struggling to find solution. If anyone has already done this, if you could
point me in the right direction it will save me some frustration. Thanks

I assume what you are looking for is a reference to the Toolbars...
Application.CommandBars("Formatting") and
Application.CommandBars (Standard")

But what about the cell right-click menu or the row/column headers right-click menu?
And there is always Ctrl + C or Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V.
Also, drag and drop is the same as cut and paste.

This routine disables/enables Cuts and Drag & Drop. You'd have to extend it
or add something similar for Copy and Paste. The ID for Copy is 19 and
Paste is 22.

''Pass True to Enable and False to Disable
Sub AllowCuts(EnableBool As Boolean)
Dim oCtls As CommandBarControls, oCtl As CommandBarControl
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=21) ''Cut
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=522)
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
''Disable Options so D&D cannot be restored
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
With Application
.CellDragAndDrop = EnableBool
If EnableBool Then
.OnKey "^x"
.OnKey "+{Del}"
Else
.OnKey "^x", ""
.OnKey "+{Del}", ""
End If
End With
End Sub

Hello Adrian,

I agree with Jim Rech, and apart from his macro, I find another one at:
http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/disable-cut-copy.htm
It calls Application.CellDragAndDrop = False and Application.CutCopyMode =
False to disable cut/copy, however, it doesn't disable the Paste behavior.
To disable Paste, I'd suggest Jim's routine:

Sub AllowPastes(EnableBool As Boolean)
Dim oCtls As CommandBarControls, oCtl As CommandBarControl
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=22) ''Paste
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
Set oCtls = CommandBars.FindControls(ID:=522)
If Not oCtls Is Nothing Then
For Each oCtl In oCtls
''Disable Options so D&D cannot be restored
oCtl.Enabled = EnableBool
Next
End If
With Application
.CellDragAndDrop = EnableBool
If EnableBool Then
.OnKey "^v"
.OnKey "+{Del}"
Else
.OnKey "^v", ""
.OnKey "+{Del}", ""
End If
End With
End Sub
