Howdie....
I need only certain sheets to be visible, depending on who is looking.

I looked at the previous submitted query today, but that response doesnt
work for me.

I have Five sheets.
Sheets One to Three (no pun intended :) ) are visible all the time
Sheets Four and Sheet Five only visible to a selective audience.
I would like to write VBA so that when the user runs the macro it asks
for a password, or username, and then if the correct answer is inputted,
it unhides Sheets Four or Five.
Too adventurous?
Other ideas welcomed...

Thanks!!

As to asking for the username and password, you can insert a USERFORM into
your VBA project that you can set a text box to use password characters to
hide the password (Excel 2003 I know for sure). As for hiding and unhiding
the sheets, Save the workbook with sheets four and five hidden eg....

Sheet4.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet5.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

hiding sheets will not work in a regular module (or at least i couldn't get
them too.) so you must put them in a worksheet module.
and when you verify username and password,

sheet4.visible = xlsheetvisible
sheet5.visible = xlsheetvisible

to make it ask for a password...
