    Prevent Excel File from Copy, Move and Delete from computer

    Hi.
    When we work in any organization or office then we have to deal with many
    persons and other employee. And sometime other person and employees use our computer.
    And they have also possibility to delete my excel files.

    I want to prevent my excel file from delete, copy and move from folder.
    Is there any type of command or vb code or any other solution.

    Please Reply.

    That is a Computer/Network Admin question more than anything else- there is nothing VBA can do to prevent malicious users chopping your files..

    If using NTFS then you can easily change permissions on a file by Right Clicking > File Properties > Security tab > Advanced Security Setting , Deny to Everybody the right on a file(s) - but doing that is pointless if you leave your machine sitting there, open and ready for anyone to use.
