I have a similar situation as George, but I want the user to be able to open multiple worksheets and have all the rest of the worksheets remain hidden. The code I currently have only has worksheet1 visible and prompts for a username and password. If they enter the correct username/password, it will unhide one worksheet, but not multiple sheets. If the enter an incorrect username/password, it gives them an error stating "you do have the authorization to view this worksheet." Any suggestions? Thank you!
