Please can somebody help me? I have a macro which requires a user to provide a password before they can unhide some sheets in a file. The workbook is protected and they must provide the password to unprotect it and then unhide the sheets. The macro works fine on my PC, but when somebody else uses it, they can enter any password and it will allow them view the sheets. Why is this. Please help. My code is:

Public Sub UnprotectandUnhide()

Dim Pass As String
Dim Sicktime

Pass = InputBox("Please enter password to unhide sheets")
Sicktime = Range("B10").Value

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Pass

If Sicktime >= "37622" Then H2003 Else If Sicktime >= "37257" Then H2002 Else If Sicktime >= "36892" Then H2001 Else End
If Sicktime >= "37257" Then H2002 Else If Sicktime >= "36892" Then H2001 Else End
If Sicktime >= "36892" Then H2001 Else End

Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "Wrong password, please re-enter"
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Please help. The other PC does have macros enabled...

Hi,

Is this routine stored in Personal.xls file? or any template just in your computer instead active workbook?

Then you will need to move macro in main document or copy your template or personal macro workbook into the other PC.

I hope it helps.

It's stored in my personal macro workbook, but I copied it to the user's PERSONAL.xls file also. Why won't it work?

There is one more possibility which let user do that. May be you forgot password protecting xls file. because then it wouldnot cause error even user enters wrong password.

Or forgot setting a password.

I suggest you debugging code in user PC than you will easily see what is wrong.

Yes, you're pretty close to the mark. I did set the password, but I left out Sturcture:= True, Windows:= False. I presume it didn't work because the structure wasn't protected. Either way it works now. thanks for your help.
