require password each time a macro is executed
 

Workbook contains serveral worksheets with a number of macros. If the wrong
macro is executed for a given worksheet it will ruin the integrity of the
worksheet.
How do I avoid this problem other than using passwords.

Include a line in your code which checks that the required worksheet is
selected before the macro continues.

Thanks Ivan,
I understand but is this an if statement and how do you write it?

If you can pick out something unique for that type of worksheet, then you can
test that to see if it's there.

For instance, if you have headers in A1:X1 and A1 always contains the text:
"Order Number"

you could put this at the top of your code:

sub testme()
if activesheet.range("a1").value < "Order Number" then
msgbox "Not on this sheet"
exit sub
end if
'your other code here
end sub

The question now becomes: Can you find something unique?

require password each time a macro is executed
 

Sub Macro1()

if lcase(Activesheet.Name) < "sheet1" then
msgbox "Sheet2 must be active to run this macro"
exit sub
End if

' existing code that works on the active sheet.

End Sub
