Is is possible to hide/lock a tab in a spreadsheet so it can not be

I assume you mean you want to hide a worksheet within a workbook.
Hide the sheet, then protect the workbook with a password. ToolsProtectionProtect Workbook Ian "Johnnie" wrote in message ... Is is possible to hide/lock a tab in a spreadsheet so it can not be opened/viewed without a password? Thanks for your help. Johnnie |

You can hide a tab just by selecting the sheet and then going under data and
selecting "hide" I don't know about the password... "Johnnie" wrote: Is is possible to hide/lock a tab in a spreadsheet so it can not be opened/viewed without a password? Thanks for your help. Johnnie |

Ian,
Thanks for the info. However, although I can protect the worksheet so no modifications can be made, I would like to lock it so it can not be viewed at all without a password. Example: I have ten worksheets in a workbook (1-10). Can I lock worksheet #2 so that only I or someone with the password can view it. I failed to let you know I have Office 2003. Thanks.

Hi Johnnie
Your latest missive refers to locking workSHEETs, my instructions refer to locking the workBOOK. If what you're asking is to be able to have the tab visible, but to either do nothing or prompt for a password when it is selected, then I'm not sure if it is possible. There may be a way in code to unhide the tab if the workbook is unprotected and keep it hidden if it is protected, but I don't know of a way. Ian "Johnnie" wrote in message ...
