if i understand correctly, maybe something like this in the workbook open
event

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If UCase(Environ("username")) = "GLENN" Then
Worksheets("sheet1").Visible = True
Else
Worksheets("sheet1").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Is it possible to determine which sheets appear when a workbook is opened.
I
have a workbook with a number of hidden sheets that are updated by me from
time to time and I would like them to start off hidden when the workbook
is
opened by say, someone else on the network. I have toyed with the
Workbook
Open in VB but to no avail. Many thanks
