    Protect individual worksheet

    Hi, all

    I have a workbook with say 7 worksheets.

    I want to protect each worksheet to specific LDAP users.

    ie, User Jane Doe can see worksheet #1(no permissions set) and her worksheet #3. 2, 4-7 she will be denied access.

    Is there a way to protect a sheet to a user-not just a range?

    You could hide all the sheets, except one which would be just an empty sheet. Then use VBA to get the user to log in & unhide the relevant sheets(s). Do a search of the Forum for Passwordfoem posted by me
    Hope that helps.

    Hi roy,

    Great ideam but, I am very inexpirenced with excel. The only way this could be function is if it integrated with their Windows LDAP login. They wouldnt go for another password to remember.

    Re: Protect individual worksheet

    Would setting edit range permissions with using just a larger range then the user should ever reach be a smart idea? ie edit range permissions for range 2:1000?

    It works for what I need. But, are there any problems I dont forsee?
