    Change worksheets on view when password entered to open workbook

    Hi All,

    I'm hoping to once again tap into the vast excel forum brain for help.

    I have a workbook with 20 worksheets. What I would like to do is password protect the workbook as normal, but, have multiple passwords to open. When opened certain worksheets will be hidden dependant on the password used.

    e.g.

    Password entered is: SALES
    Worksheets visable = 1-10

    password entered is: ADMIN
    Worksheets visable = 1-20

    I have been scouring the web for an answer and have got close but not close enough.

    Hoping you can help

    Regards

    SBG

    Instead of normal protection, can't you use a userform to achieve the same? Excel built-in protection would take one password only.

    Thanks for the response. I am not familiar with a User form, could you detail how to put this together so I can see if its workable?

    Many thanks
