    restricting access to a worksheet?

    I am using Excel 2000. I have a spreadsheet on a server that can be accessed
    by approximately 50 people. There are 2 worksheets in this document that
    contain sensitive information and I want to limit access to these worksheets
    to only to a few users exclusively. Can this be done? Thanks!

    How about require a user to enter a password.

    This code will hide/unhide a sheet as needed. When you click on the button it will prompt you for a password then open if correct, when you click it again it will rehide the sheet.

    Add a command button to a sheet and then right click it, click on view code and place this code into it. Make sure to change the command button name/number as needed and also change the sheet name/number accordingly. just make sure to password protect the VBA Project in the VBE so that the user cannot look at the code for the password.

    Hope this will help.

    Just a word of warning, it is relatively easy for anyone, even a novice, to get around passwords in Excel. Just do a quick google for examples. So, if it's info that others should definitely not see then the safest option is not to put it out there.

    I am facing the same issue at the moment, I have built a workbook and I need to protect it, more so that other people don't screw it up than anything else!
