You can password-protect a workbook but not an individual workSHEET within
that workbook AFAIK....

Although its possible to create something like that, it would not be secure,
as you would just be making a code to unhide a worksheet, which Excel does
not have a built in feature to password protect. I'd think the best you can
do is have your banking sheet in a seperate workbook, and password protect
that. You could do a hyperlink then from your first workbook to the "Banking
Sheet" (which is in a different, seperate workbook)

I'm also not sure how secure you are trying to get. I've heard Excel
passwords are not the strongest.
