Using Excel 2000.

The textbox is embedded directly into the sheet.
When the workbook (with its single sheet) is opened,
the textbox is visible and accessible to the user.

Can I control access to the textbox, so that it is
only accessible under certain conditions?

For example, in the ThisWorkbook module I have
code in the Workbook_Open Event. Can I do
something like:
If ContractMaster = True Then
Enable the Contol
Else
User cannot edit the textbox

Is this possible please?

Regards.

Hi Stuart,

To hide the textbox,try:

ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Textbox1").Visible = True

To prevent editing, try:

ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Textbox1").Enabled = True
