Password in order to save workbook...SOLVED

[dsnbld]

For the record I did a search on passwords, read them all. Also have had my nose in Excel help file. Trying, but stuck. I know about Sub Form_Load(), but not sure how to implement it.
I'll bet I've gone about this wrong, but here's what I've got-

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1 = "pw" Then
MsgBox "Password Accepted", vbInformation
Unload Me
Else
If TextBox1 <> "pw" Then
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbOKOnly + vbCritical
Unload Me
***What Can I put here to abort the save?***
End If
End If
End Sub

You could try cancelling the save before you show the userform. Then if the user gets the password right save the workbook yourself.

Either that or just hide the useform when the user clicks on OK and change your code to

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

UserForm1.Show

If UserForm1.TextBox1 <> "pw" Then
Cancel = True
End If

Unload UserForm1

End Sub

Good work Gary- Thanks. I thought I tried cancel... Seems to be working fine, just got to disable the close command on the form.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
UserForm1.Show
If UserForm1.TextBox1 <> "pw" Then
Cancel = True
End If
Unload UserForm1
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1 = "pw" Then
MsgBox "Password Accepted", vbInformation
UserForm1.Hide
Else
If TextBox1 <> "pw" Then
MsgBox "Invalid Password", vbOKOnly + vbCritical
Unload UserForm1
End If
End If
End Sub

I use this code. It will only allow a user to save the file if the correct password is given and will have a pop-up that says "not saved...." if it is incorrect:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Password As String
Dim EnteredPassword As String

Password = "Secret"
EnteredPassword = InputBox("Enter password to save changes")
If EnteredPassword <> Password Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox ("Password incorrect, file not saved")
End If

End Sub

Mav, that is too fine. The Sub Form_Load() I was talking about is basically what you've got, but I had trouble getting it to work. Kept missing some little something.
Great work guys. I should have posted a long time ago, but I learned quite a bit in the process.
