Please, please note that Eduardo's code doesn't provide security. Anyone
with a little bit of knowledge of VB will be able to override this code, and
get to the hidden data.

From: Sheri on
I have a similar situation as George, but I want the user to be able to open
multiple worksheets and have all the rest of the worksheets remain hidden.
The code I currently have only has worksheet1 visible and prompts for a
username and password. If they enter the correct username/password, it will
unhide one worksheet, but not multiple sheets. If the enter an incorrect
username/password, it gives them an error stating "you do have the
authorization to view this worksheet." Any suggestions?

Thank you!
