Something like:
objExcel.Application.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls("Tools").Controls("Macro").Controls("Macros...").Enabled=.f.

However I am afraid that even you disable macros, it still can be used from another open document (if any).

One of the solution is to remove macro from the document,
and do not allow user to replace document when saving.

Something like:

x=objExcel.Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents
x.Remove(x.Item("Module2"))
