From: Curtis on 12 Mar 2010 14:10 Is there any way to keep users from un-hiding worksheets in a workbook? However they do require access to other sheets (not hiiden) within the workbook Thanks -- ce
From: Arvi Laanemets on 12 Mar 2010 14:20 Hi Start VBA editor (Alt+F11). In VBA Project select sheet, and set it's Visible property to xlSheetVeryHidden. To prevent the user setting the sheets Visible property to xlSheetVisible again, protect VBA Project with password.

A Very Hidden sheet, does not show VBA and lock the project with a password to prevent them opening the VB Editor. -- Regards Roger Govier Curtis wrote: > Is there any way to keep users from un-hiding worksheets in a workbook? > However they do require access to other sheets (not hiiden) within the > workbook > > Thanks
From: Mike H on 12 Mar 2010 14:56 Hi, The short answer is you can't but you can make it more difficult. Alt+F11 to open VB editor and if the 'Project' window and 'properties' window aren't visible tap CTRL+R & F4 to show them In the project window select the sheets in turn that you want to hide and in the properties window set the 'visible' property to 'XlSheetVeryhidden' Now click Tools|VBA Project properties and on the 'protection' tab check 'Lock project for viewing' and apply a password. Save close and re-open. It's now as difficult as it gets and the only way to make the sheet visible is from the VBA editor but it isn't secure because that's the nature of Excel security -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

Thanks I have another question if I may. I have 30 sheets in a particular workbook and each is password protected with certain cells within each sheet unlocked for user inputting. Is ther a way to lock/ unlock multiple sheets at a time (same password) Thanks ce -- ce "Mike H" wrote: > Hi, > > The short answer is you can't but you can make it more difficult.
