In addition to Ivan's fine code with command bars, here is an alternative approach that can be placed
in the workbook module to cover cut, copy, paste, and drag & drop:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Application.CellDragAndDrop = True
Application.OnKey "^c"
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_WindowActivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
Application.CellDragAndDrop = True
Application.OnKey "^c"
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeRightClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Right click menu deactivated." & vbCrLf & _
"Cannot copy or ''drag & drop''.", 16, "For this workbook:"
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Try covering your bases with this in your Workbook module:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
With Application
.CutCopyMode = False
.CellDragAndDrop = False
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeRightClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Right click menu deactivated." & vbCrLf & _
"Cannot copy or ''drag & drop''.", 16, "For this file:"
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
With Application
.OnKey "^c", ""
.CutCopyMode = False
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
With Application
.CellDragAndDrop = True
.OnKey "^c"
.CutCopyMode = False
End With
End Sub
In the Thisworkbook object;
Private Sub Workbook_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Application.CutCopyMode=False
And Also
Sub DisableCopy()
EnableControl 19, False
' copy
EnableControl 21, False
' cut
Application.CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = False
Application.OnKey "^C", ""
End Sub
Sub EnableCopy()
EnableControl 19, True
' copy
EnableControl 21, True
' cut
Application.CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = True
Application.OnKey "^C"
End Sub
Sub EnableControl(Id As Integer, Enabled As Boolean)
Dim CB As CommandBar
Dim Ctrl As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
For Each CB In Application.CommandBars
Set Ctrl = CB.FindControl(Id:=Id, recursive:=True)
If Not Ctrl Is Nothing Then Ctrl.Enabled = Enabled
Next
End Sub

End Sub

How to use:
Copy above code for the standard module.
1. In Excel press Alt + F11 to enter the VBE.
2. Press Ctrl + R to show the Project Explorer.
3. Right-click desired file on left (in bold).
4. Choose Insert -> Module.
5. Paste code into the right pane.
6. Copy the code for the ThisWorkbook module.
7. In the project explorer, locate the ThisWorkbook object.
8. Double click the ThisWorkbook object.
9. Paste code into the right pane.
10. Press Alt + Q to close the VBE.
11. Save workbook before any other changes.
12. Close and reopen the workbook.
