Passwords on macros's
 

I want to set up a button that runs a macro, but I want the user to be prompted to key in a password so that only certain users can run macro

Kathy, use something like this

Sub Password_To_Run()
Dim PW As String
PW = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please Enter The Password", _
Title:="Password Required To Run This Macro", _
Type:=2)
If PW = "abc" Then ''The password is CASE sensitive

'''*****Your Code Here*****

Else
'''****If Password Is Incorrect*********
MsgBox Prompt:="Sorry, That Is Not The Correct Password", _
Title:="Incorrect Password", _
Buttons:=vbOKOnly

End If
End Sub

You must also lock the VBA project so you can't see the password in it
