Force to enable macros

[Guest]

Good day everyone,

Is there such code that forces the user to enable the macros in order to
open a file?

In other words, if the user "disable" the macros, then the file cannot be
opened.

Thanks for your time...

Just for clarification, the answer is no.

Hi Denys.

No.

But perhaps you could use the Workbook_BeforeClose event handler to
"cripple" your workbook in some fashion (e.g. Protect all the cells or
make the sheets Very Hidden - apart from the one that says "If you
don't enable the macros, you don't get the worksheets!") and restore it
to health with Workbook_Open.

Good morning,

Thanks for your answers. I used to hide my sheets just before closing. But
Scoops, you gave me a good idea... I will make the sheets very hidden instead
of "visible = true". It should help..

Have a good day
