macro that takes data entered in a user form textbox to go to a ra

[Guest]

I have a user form titled UserInterface with two text boxes one for the
user's first name and one for their last name. After they input their name
for example Brian Monaghan and click on my command button titled "login" I
want
to have a macro that will take them to a range of cells named Brian_Monaghan.
Then I want that same macro to be the case for every employee named entered
who have corresponding ranges named after them as well.

Which will then be linked to a macro I wrote earlier where a specific cell
is clicked within that range and the rest of the cells on the worksheet not
in that range are locked and protected via password. Here is the code I have
for the first macro. It's very simple but I was going for a basic code here
since this is a mock.


Sheets("Employee Tracker").Select
Range("A25:M25").Locked = False
Range("A25:M25").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="testpass"
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 6
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 5
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 4
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 3
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 2
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
Range("C3:C25").Select
Range("C25").Select

Thanks in advance for any help

Look at

Private Sub Login_click()
with UserInterface
On error Resume Next
set rng = Worksheets("names").Range( _
.TextboxFirst.Text & "_" & .TextboxLast.Text)
On Error goto 0
if rng is nothing then
msgbox "Bad name, quitting"
unload UserInterface
thisworkbook.Close Savechanges:=False
End if
End With
application.Goto rng, true
unload UserInterFace
Call firstMacro
End Sub

Thanks for the reply Tom I tried the code and got the following error message
"sub or object not defined". Do I need to enter in the specific name for my
worksheet where it says set rng=Worksheets("names").Range( _ ? For example my
worksheet is called Employee Task Tracker and do I need to input anything in
the parantheses with the Range? I apologize for asking such questions but I
am a real novice at Excel and am trying to learn how to read code.

Thanks

Here is the code I have
Private Sub Login_click()
With UserInterface
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = Worksheets("Names").Range( _
.TextboxFirst.Text & "_" & .TextBoxLast.Text)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Bad name, quitting"
Unload UserInterface
ThisWorkbook.Close Savechanges:=False
End If
End With
Application.Goto rng, True
Unload UserInterface
Call FirstMacro
End Sub

Yes, when you don't provide specific information, I have to put in
placeholder values. So you would need to replace "Names" with the name of
the sheet that actually contains the ranges for the name of the person.

Worked perfectly Tom thanks just one minor problem left but I think I may
know how to solve it.
