    Question How to Have Two Cells Impacted by a Password Protected Cell

    Hello all,

    I'm building a worksheet for approvals of expenses that need to be made, to help make my organization's system more efficient. I've been able to piggy back off of a previous thread that I found, in order to get part way what I need.

    However, even when the password is put incorrectly for the Approver Name, the Manager/Director Signature Picture still changes to that of the corresponding person that one was trying to select.

    How do I edit/add to the macro so that if the password is entered incorrectly, then the corresponding picture/signature cell will not populate, but instead, just become a blank cell?

    I've attached the dummy worksheet that I've been using to try and figure this out. Enjoy the Spongebob.

    I'm pretty new to programming so any words of advice would be great appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi welcome to the forum,
    Piggy back off previous threads and other files is great but you need to know what your doing and what the code does.
    You mention you're pretty new at programming, how new?
    I'll take a look at Spongebob and see if I can help

    Re: How to Have Two Cells Impacted by a Password Protected Cell

    Thanks for the response, I tried to post the link to the previous thread earlier but since I'm a new member I was not able to. The code makes it so that in the dropdown list in order to access a name, each has a unique password associated to it.

    I also have an indirect function in place with the Approver Name cell (B13), so that when a name is chosen, a corresponding image in cell B10 shows up. However with the way the code is right now, even if a password is entered incorrectly and Approver Name is blank, the corresponding image of the intended name still shows up. I'd like to add a stop so that the indirect function does not process if the name password is not entered correctly.

    Here's the code I used:

    Option Explicit
    Const BobEsponja As String = "BobEsponja1"
    Const Calamardo As String = "Calamardo1"
    Const Patricio As String = "Patricio1"
    Const SenoraPuff As String = "SenoraPuff1"
    Const SenorCangrejo As String = "SenorCangrejo1"
    Const Plankton As String = "Plankton1"
    Const ArenitaMejillas As String = "ArenitaMejillas1"

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim pwd As String
    Dim Oops As Boolean

    Application.EnableEvents = False

    For Each cell In Target
    If Not Intersect(cell, Range("B13")) Is Nothing And cell <> "" Then
    pwd = Application.InputBox("Password for " & cell & ":", _
    "Enter Password", Type:=2)
    Select Case cell.Value
    Case "BobEsponja"
    If pwd <> BobEsponja Then Oops = True
    Case "Calamardo"
    If pwd <> Calamardo Then Oops = True
    Case "Patricio"
    If pwd <> Patricio Then Oops = True
    Case "SenoraPuff"
    If pwd <> SenoraPuff Then Oops = True
    Case "SenorCangrejo"
    If pwd <> SenorCangrejo Then Oops = True
    Case "Plankton"
    If pwd <> Plankton Then Oops = True
    Case "ArenitaMejillas"
    If pwd <> ArenitaMejillas Then Oops = True
    End Select

    If Oops Then
    MsgBox "Bad password"
    cell = ""
    End If
    End If
    Next cell

    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End Sub
    And by new, I mean I am still in my first month of playing around with it. It's not a part of my job at all, but I understand the very basics to follow instructions.

    Thanks a bunch

    Change the last part of the macro with the OOPS test to

    This will hide the picture with the signature if the password is wrong and show it if the password is valid

    It is not a matter of editing cells the pictures are linked to a named range and that named range will show the picture regardless of the password entered.
    And since the wanted end result is that the signature does not show if the wrong password is shown. the easiest solution is to hide the picture that holds the signature

    Try this one, I named the pictures BobEsponja, SenorCangrejo etc and added Blanco but did nothing with it
    The macro in Module2 GetTheImage places the image but you need to remove it first for the next run

    You should avoid Merged cells, it's a mess when selecting and coding but ... looks good
    I modified the code alittle and changed the way the picture is addressed, makes it easier to delete
    The picture name when copied is changed to PictureAs and the range's address
    for the corresponding picture to B13 the name is then

    I added the inputbox module to mask the passwords its a code I found about 25 years ago
