Is this possible......?
Hi,
Here's what I would like to do. I want a spreadsheet for an annual budget. I would want a separate worksheet for each department and another sheet that would summarize all departments. It would be shared on the network so each department manager can enter their budget request. Is there a way to protect each sheet with a different password so that each department manager can see only their worksheet and not the other departments or the summary sheet. So, if they were to click on a worksheet tab, they would have to put in a password before they could even see it. That may be asking too much. Is there some way to accomplish this? Thanks Dan |

Hide (xlVeryHidden) all of the sheets except a Main navigation sheet.
Validate the user by their NT User Name ( In VBA environ("UserName")) checking it against a list of names stored on a sheet somewhere. Based on who has the book open unhide their departemantal budget sheet. Make sure to protect your code so that no one can get into the sheets through the back door. -- HTH...

Wow....sounds great, but I have no clue how to do that. You gave me a good
start in the right direction on researching how. Thanks for the info and your help. Dan "Jim Thomlinson" wrote in message ... Hide (xlVeryHidden) all of the sheets except a Main navigation sheet.

Hi, Dan. The reason I asked is because 2003 DOES have individual worksheet
protection. If you want something a little more "robust", you might want to try something like this: http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=531 or http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=33 ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Dan B" wrote in message ...

Just some added information:
If your managers are motivated to see the sheets of other managers, then here is a link to code (readily available and well known) to quickly remove any protection based on built in excel capabilities that you might choose to implement, particularly all those methods (that actually hide information) already suggested. http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/removepwords.html -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dan B" wrote in message ...

Excellent link... I had not seen that one. I have code to crack passwords but
that is good insight into what Excel is doing and why it is so easy to crack. Always good to learn something new... Thanks Tom and JE -- HTH...
