    Prevent worksheet to be sent if certain information is left

    Dear Friends,

    I have a huge worksheet containing product information along with sensitive information with prices etc. I edit and save this file everyday and then make a copy, then redact all sensitive information (delete several columns which contain rates) and then sending this redacted file to bunch of people. But in the future I might forget to redact sensitive info and eventually will expose it to the recipients.

    Is there a way to prevent worksheet to be sent via outlook if certain columns still exist on the file or is there a way to make a warning popup while saving data.

    For example when saving it would popup a message: "SENSITIVE COLUMNS STILL EXISTS" or "SENSITIVE DATA IS DELETED AND IT IS SAFE TO SEND"

    Or any other way?

    Thank you in advance for Your replies. I will check this post today and tomorrow too.

    Hi,

    In this scenario I would use a named range for one series off cells which should be cleared before sending off the document. For instance the name “MustBeDeleted”.
    Then in de workbook_befereSave this code.
