Thanks

I have another question if I may. I have 30 sheets in a particular workbook
and each is password protected with certain cells within each sheet unlocked
for user inputting. Is ther a way to lock/ unlock multiple sheets at a time
(same password)

Thanks

Hi,

The short answer is you can't but you can make it more difficult. Alt+F11 to
open VB editor and if the 'Project' window and 'properties' window aren't
visible tap CTRL+R & F4 to show them

In the project window select the sheets in turn that you want to hide and in
the properties window set the 'visible' property to 'XlSheetVeryhidden'

Now click Tools|VBA Project properties and on the 'protection' tab check
'Lock project for viewing' and apply a password. Save close and re-open.

It's now as difficult as it gets and the only way to make the sheet visible
is from the VBA editor but it isn't secure because that's the nature of Excel
security

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Is there any way to keep users from un-hiding worksheets in a workbook?
However they do require access to other sheets (not hiiden) within the
workbook
