Excel Friends,

I got this code to disable/enable Right Click on the Sheet Tab:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
   Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
    Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = True
End Sub

It worked fine, but I got out of excel totally, and it is still Disabled in all my workbooks. Enabling it is driving me crazy!

I also need hot to disable and enable Delete Sheet and Hide/Unhide sheets, in the menu, not just the Right Click.

Can somebody help!

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
if you created a copy of
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
    Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = True
End Sub

to

Code:
Sub test()
    Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = True
End Sub

and run as normal

It was easy! thanks! But why is not working the Sub Workbook_Deactivate?

Can somebody help me with the disabling and enabling Delete Sheet and Hide/Unhide sheets, in the menu? not just the Right Click.

Thanks!

would think workbook_close, would be better, deactivate might work in switching around.

not sure about your other problems, it will be on the web somewhere

If you do get answers, post them back to the thread for others
