Hi, I am new to this VBA and need help.

I have found this code to assign Ctrl + v to copy and paste as values only to my template workbook for 20 users. It seems to work; howerver, when the workbook is closed and users try to use "Ctrl + v" as normal; then, this VBA workbook open again :(. Please help review the code if there is something wrong and how to fix it? Thank you!

The below code is in "Module 2":

VBA Code:
Sub CreateShortcut()

    Application.OnKey "+^{v}", "KeepDestinationFormatting"
   
End Sub

AND

VBA Code:
Sub KeepDestinationFormatting()

    If ActiveWorkbook Is ThisWorkbook Then
   
        ActiveSheet.Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
   
    End If
   
End Sub

Then, in "ThisWorkbook" I have the below code:

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
  
    Call Module2.KeepDestinationFormatting
   
End Sub
