Hi all! The company I work for has an online filing system that allows clients to submit information in an excel spread sheet with advanced meta data in the formatting of each cell (including the cell name), which is then processed and converted to XBRL. We are having a problem because the users are able to cut and paste cells. When they cut and paste a cell, it copies the meta data and messes up the processing. I was wondering if there was a way to lock down the cells to stop users from cutting the meta data and ONLY cut (or copy) the cell values. I have seen a macro to disable cut and paste, which should work, but I wanted to know if there are any other options.
