preventing access to hidden worksheets
I have hidden worksheets on my program. How can I prevent someone from
unhiding a worksheet? I know how to protect the worksheet from changes but there are certain worksheets I want to keep from others eyes. Thanks Glenn |

preventing access to hidden worksheets
You can protect the workbook's structure.
This'll stop the user from inserting/deleting/renaming/moving sheets. In xl2003, you can find it under: Tools|Protection|protect workbook|Check Structure Leave Windows unchecked. Give it a memorable password. But be aware that this password is easily broken by anyone who really wants to. Glenn wrote: I have hidden worksheets on my program.

Set the worksheets property to xlVeryHidden the user will not be able to
unhide them unless they are in vba which you can password protect. or use something like ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(3)= (xlVeryHidden) "Glenn" wrote: I have hidden worksheets on my program.
