Thanks for the response gocush...........the "Workbook_Before_Close" point
is a good one.........I was depending on the Certified Operator to remember
to delete the Passcode and thats for sure not a good idea.........thanks for
reminding me

As for your first point, I don't think I understand what you mean
there..........I had intended that the CO hand-type the Passcode into the
selected cell......

You will also need a way for each user to enter the password in Rng E2 ??
on
Workbook_Open so that it is not hard coded.

Likewise the Workbook_Before_Close event needs to empty E2 for the same
reason.

at the beginning of each macro:
If Sheets("Whatever").Range("E3").Value<"xyz" then exit sub

pick a sheet & a range & a "password", make the change in the above
statement & you're all set.

Hi All.............

Is it possible to put a small statement at the beginning of selected
Macros,
that would prevent them from working unless a specific passcode
number
was
previously typed into a specific cell? I have many Macros set up on
push-buttons but would like to prevent "casual" users and data-entry
people
from using them......but still allow certain macros without this
feature
to
be used by everyone.

TIA
