You could use a hidden name or sheet to hold the password. If it's not set
then ask them to provide one. It it is set them ask them what it is.
Are these 50 worksheets in the same workbook or different ones?

I have 50 worksheets tied to 50 different employees. Each on will be
updating their worksheet on a daily basis. I would like to be able to
prompt
them to enter a password which will give them access to their individual
worksheet. I don't want to have to explain to each person how to protect
the
sheet, instead if a message could appear as soon as they accessed the
sheet
prompting them for a password. This also means that the first time that
they
ever access it I want to ask them to create a password. Any help would be
appreciated.
