Macro protection

[Michelle]

I have a program set up in excel it has a main screen with
a bunch of buttons that will take you to different area of
the workbook, what I need is to put a password or
something on the one button so that only those people who
need access to that part of the book can get into it.

Michelle, here is one way to require a password to run a macro

Sub Password_Request()
'you must lock the VBA project so you can't see the password in it
Dim PW As String
PW = Application.InputBox( _
Prompt:="Please Enter The Password", _
Title:="Password Required To Run This Macro", _
Type:=2)
If PW = "a123" Then 'Change password here, it is CASE sensitive

'*****Put Your Code Here*****
MsgBox "That's it !"


Else
'****If password does not match*********
MsgBox Prompt:="Sorry, That Is Not The Correct Password", _
Title:="Incorrect Password", _
Buttons:=vbOKOnly

End If
End Sub
