Default Multiple Password

If your workbook contains two or more worksheets then each one can be
protected with their own individual password, so, yes, you can have
more than one password in a workbook.

You can also put a password on the workbook as a whole.

Default Multiple Passwords - more info

let me give more info...
I am in an environment where I need multiple users to acesss workbooks
specifically for them. I wanted to put all the workbooks on our intranet in
one folder. Once they accessed the public folder they would only be able to
access their workbook via a password.
I would want to access the sames workbooks, but I would like to use a
spearate password which would be the same for all of them. Is this possible?
Two passwords per workbook - one for the specific user and one for me as the
master of all of workbooks.

Thanks

Not possible with Windows/Excel available protection. The only way is to use
VBA to create new entry requirements.

Default Multiple Password

Perhaps something such as this...

Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _
Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Function ReturnUserName() As String
' returns the NT Domain User Name
Dim rString As String * 255, sLen As Long, tString As String
tString = ""
On Error Resume Next
sLen = GetUserName(rString, 255)
sLen = InStr(1, rString, Chr(0))
If sLen 0 Then
tString = Left(rString, sLen - 1)
Else
tString = rString
End If
On Error GoTo 0
ReturnUserName = LCase(Trim(tString))
End Function

Sub Filt()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim Number As Integer

Range("J1").Select
Selection = "=ReturnUserName()"
If Range("J1").Text = oprince Or Range("J1").Text = hsmith = Then '< -- this
shows 2 user's login IDs
Number = 2 'this can be whatever you desire
Else
MsgBox ("Unauthorized.")

Exit Sub
End If

' blah, blah, blah, (I user the filter tool to find all criteria that
matched the value 2)

End Sub

I found the function, I think on this DG, a short time ago. I matched the
results of the function with the Sub and got this working later in the
afternoon yesterday.

Hope that helps,
