I have one excel file, in that there are 3 sheets. User should not open
sheet 2. I can hide the sheet. But the problem is they can go to format and
un hide the sheet. I want to hide the sheet, if any body trying to un hide
it should ask pass word to open.
Please advice...how to do this

Vishu
 
Hi

you can use tools / protection / protect workbook to stop them unhiding the
sheet without supplying a password, but this will also stop them adding /
deleting / renaming sheets among other things and isn't very secure (ie it
can be broken in approx 2mins with info from a web-site).
