ExcelBanter - Allow certain users to edit certain rows?

David,
If you're on a network and if all your users have network
ids then this should work:
'Goes at the top of the module.
Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll"
Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As
Long) As Long

Then get the id with:

Public Function GetCurrentUserName() As String

Dim lpBuff As String * 25
Dim ret As Long, Username As String

On Error GoTo Err_GetCurrentUserName

ret = GetUserName(lpBuff, 25)
'Username is global in scope.
Username = Left(lpBuff, InStr(lpBuff, Chr(0)) - 1)
GetCurrentUserName = Username & ""

Exit_GetCurrentUserName:
Exit Function

Err_GetCurrentUserName:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_GetCurrentUserName
End Function

Call GetCurrentUserName in the Workbook_Open event. Match
the name up to some hidden list. There's no prompting to
this call. No password either, though. If you want to get
that fancy and professional-looking, then yes, use a form.

If you're not on a network, make a logon form and match to
your hidden list.

The API call just saves the user from entering an id.

Hi Geof,

Actually, my question was how to create different logins
for different
people - they won't access it concurrently.

Is there a built-in way, or do I have to pop up a form to
ask for it?

Thanks!

David
