Default Trap a user to a cell.

Hi.

I have a file that I need users to enter a password before they can use it.
Ideally, when the file opens a message box fires telling them to enter a
password into cell A2. The passwords work on hidden vlookup tables which
means that I can't password protect the file conventionally. Anyway, is there
any code that will trap the user to a1, disable the mouse/pointer and
direction buttons until a the value of the password has been met. Although
there are many passwords they all will trigger a 1 if the found within the
vlookup table. So therefore, if A1 = 1 then the file is released and normal
controls apply.

Hope this isn't too fiddly!

Thanks

G
