Hi all,

This is the code which I found used to protect a sheet from opening
without a password. I have certain problems in this. First, I have
renamed all the worksheets in the workbook which makes me difficult to
identify which is sheet one as they are moved from positions. (I mean
from the day when I opened this and when excels are named as
sheet1,2,3)
So, this does not work. Also, I have given the name as "year-to-date"
as a name to the sheet and I am not able to change the name in this
code and I do not understand what to do.
The third problem is I am able to do this for a single sheet. What I
need is the first 5 sheets should be protected and only the 6th sheet
should be visible without a password. I am pasting this code in the
'this workbook code' in the left to file in the top left corner, if am
right.
Can anyone please help me in setting this code right that I can have a
password to all the 5 sheets? I need your help please. The code i tried
is given below.


Code:
--------------------


Dim sLast As Object

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Ensure Sheet1 is not the active sheet upon opening.
If Sheet1.Name = ActiveSheet.Name Then Sheet2.Select
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim strPass As String
Dim lCount As Long

If Sh.CodeName < "Sheet1" Then
'Set sLast variable to the last active sheet _
This Is Then used To return the user To the _
last sheet they were on If password Is Not known _
Or they Cancel.
Set sLast = Sh

Else
'Hide Columns
Sheet1.Columns.Hidden = True
'Allow 3 attempts at password
For lCount = 1 To 3
strPass = InputBox(Prompt:="Password Please", Title:="PASSWORD REQUIRED")
If strPass = vbNullString Then 'Cancelled
sLast.Select
Exit Sub
ElseIf strPass < "Secret" Then 'InCorrect password
MsgBox "Password incorrect", vbCritical, "Ozgrid.com"
Else 'Correct Password
Exit For
End If
Next lCount

If lCount = 4 Then 'They use up their 3 attempts
sLast.Select
Exit Sub
Else 'Allow viewing
Sheet1.Columns.Hidden = False
End If
End If
End Sub

i'm not quite sure what you are looking for
but try this and see whether this is for or not.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal sh As Object)
Dim wsdf As Worksheet
Dim wdpass As String
Dim strpass
Dim co As Long

Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo ex

Set wsdf = Sheet6 '<<===change to the CodeName of the 6th sheet
wdpass = "secret" '<<===set passward here
Set sh = ActiveSheet
If Not sh Is wsdf Then
Do While co < 3
strpass = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Password Please", Title:="PASSWORD
REQUIRED", Type:=3)
If strpass = False Then 'Cancelled
sh.Unprotect Password:=wdpass
sh.Columns.Hidden = True
sh.Protect Password:=wdpass
wsdf.Select
Exit Do
ElseIf strpass < wdpass Then 'InCorrect password
MsgBox "Password incorrect", vbCritical, "Ozgrid.com"
sh.Unprotect Password:=wdpass
sh.Columns.Hidden = True
sh.Protect Password:=wdpass
Else 'Correct Password
sh.Unprotect Password:=wdpass
sh.Columns.Hidden = False
sh.Protect Password:=wdpas
Exit Do
End If
co = co + 1
Loop
End If

If co = 3 Then
wsdf.Select
End If

ex:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
