Need macro to disable "Save" and "Save as" buttons

Anforya, it is not disabling the buttons but the code below should prevent a save. Place the code in the ThisWorkbook module

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI then Cancel = True
End Sub

To allow you to save, in the code window press CTRL + G to open the Immediate Window, type

Application.EnableEvents=False
and press Enter.

To re-enable events
Application.EnableEvents=True

Obviously this won't work if they don't enable the macros.
