    How to disable save a copy function in Excel

    I created a workbook in excel and I have it set up as “read-only” protected and I was able to disable the “save as” function. Is there any way to disable “to save a copy” function so the workbook can not be duplicated or saved with out permission of the administrator? This workbook is viewed by many people but I do not want the users to be able to save a copy as the workbook will not function properly.

    If you want to do that then you will have to download the Visual Studio 2008 and after that enter the code given below. I hope this will help you.
    Code:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    MsgBox "The 'Save As' function has been disabled."
    Cancel = True
    End Sub

    Ok Thank you for your help.

    I disabled save as for all my workbooks. How to change it back? I went into visual basics and I do not even see where the command is that I entered to disable save as.
