VBA to protect copy/paste in excel for cells having data validation

Hi


I am new to macros. I have written the following code to prevent anyone from copy/pasting the values to validated cell which is activated whenever the selection changes in the worksheet.


Sub DisablePaste()

Dim X As Variant

On Error Resume Next

X = ActiveCell.Validation.Type

If Not IsEmpty(X) Then

Application.CutCopyMode = False

Application.CellDragAndDrop = False

End If

End Sub


The code works fine if somebody tries to copy/paste within the excel sheet. But it fails if the text is copied from some other file. HOw to prevent this failure.


Thanks for your help.
