Here's how to do it

Here's how to protect VB modules:

(1) Go into the VBE (Tools > Macro > Visual Basic Editor).

(2) In the Project Explorer window (typically the left vertical pane in the VBE), select by highlighting the VBA Project you want to protect. This will be your workbook, in bold type, with the syntax VBAProject (YourFileName.xls).

(3) Click on Tools > VBAProject Properties, select the Protection tab, select "Lock project for viewing", then enter & confirm your password in the fields provided, and click OK.

When you close your workbook and open it next time, your modules will be password protected.

In the project explorer right click on the userform of item you wish to protect and select VBAProject Properties... On the Protection Tab you can enter your password. After you save the workbook it is protected. I know it works for userforms but it should work for worksheets as well. Hope that helps!
