Shri Dilip Pandey has given a very good solution. I generally use the following code :
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Sheet1.Protect "1823" Dim pass As String pass = InputBox("N Shivkumar has for obvious reasons set a Password, kindly enter password to unprotect sheet") If pass = "1823" Then Sheet1.Unprotect "1823" Else MsgBox " Incorrect Password" Worksheets(2).Activate End If End Sub *CARE : **1823 is the password * The above code helps in to go to the worksheet but asks for a password Shri Dilip is a master in excel and he is a mentor to me on a number of soulutions that he has posted N.SHIVKUMAR Mobile : +919422613567 Office : +912332301775 Alternate Email: shiv1...@yahoo.com On 9 September 2010 11:11, Kal xcel <kalx...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Dilip, > > I can't see the codes.
