Hi.

I have tried several approaches but cant quite get what I am looking
for (previous recommendation resulted in code errors).

I have a workbook that is accesible as 'read only' unless someone
knows the password to gain control access. The thing is, I have
several sheets (3) I dont want people accessing at all - unless they
open the workbook with the password. The only thing I could think of
is to:(a)somehow limit the access to the sheets from 'read only' mode
(b) protect the workbook and hide the sheets - then have macro that
would unprotect the workbook and unhide the sheets on command.

I'd rather do option (a) which seems a lot simpler however, iIf I have
to do option (b), then of course I would need to do the opposite
autmoatically on workbook close (hide the sheets, and protect the
workbook).

Am I asking too much? Or does anyone have any previous coding I could
use and alter?

Thanx
