    Check list of names against application username for authorisation

    Hi everyone

    I have a list of users in sheet "USERS" that when I select a command button to open a userform it will look down the list and check the names against the application username. If the name matches then the form will open and if there is no match then a message box to say why you cant open the userform. The list of users needs to be open and I need to be able to maintain the list.

    I can get it to work for a username in a single range but not read down a list. Suggestions welcome

    Use the range's Find method to find a value in a range. The range can be set manually for a named range, a dynamic named range, or the vba dynamic range method that I used.

    Obviously, one would want to hide the USERS sheet.

    A better method is to use Environ("username") as Application.Name can be changed easily.

    Hi Kenneth

    Thanks for the response it is exactly what I was trying to achieve. Yes you are correct the "USER" sheet will be hidden.
