Can a Macro on exel be set with a password?

[Guest]

I would like a macro button to be password protected on a spread sheet that I
have, so people can look a things on the other sheets, but not on one of them.
Thanks

Dave

if you need to protect worksheet try next:
activate sheet -> Format->Sheet->Hide
Tools->Protection->Protect Worksheet

What do you mean by "macro button to be password protected"?

If you don't want anyone to see the sheet, hide the sheet then protect the
workbook for windows and structure.

If you don't want anyone to run a macro from your button, password protect the
code.

Sub foo()
Dim mypword As String
mypword = InputBox("enter a password")
If mypword <> "drowssap" Then
MsgBox "wrong password"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "what now, brown cow"
End If
End Sub
