You could re-purpose the unhide worksheet menu option.

How do they unhide, from the menu, or do you have an app doing it.

hI,
right click in the tab name, view code, copy the following one

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim strPassword As String
On Error Resume Next
Me.Protect Password:="MANAGER"
Me.Columns.Hidden = True

strPassword = InputBox("Enter password to access DATA sheet")

If strPassword = "" Then
ActiveSheet.Visible = False
Worksheets("Menu").Select
Exit Sub
ElseIf strPassword < "MANAGER" Then
MsgBox "Password Incorrect "
ActiveSheet.Visible = False
Worksheets("Menu").Select
Exit Sub
Else
Me.Unprotect Password:="MANAGER"
Me.Columns.Hidden = False
End If
Range("a1").Select

On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
On Error Resume Next
Me.Columns.Hidden = True
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Change the password for yours, then hide the sheet, when sheet is going to
be unhide it will ask for the password

if this helps please click yes thanks

Make the worksheets "veryhidden"

They won't be available under FormatSheetUnhide.
