Upon opening the workbook, in Sheet1("Welcome"); i want users to enter their user name and password. If it is correct it takes them to sheet2("Main Menu"). If they enter the wrong username or password diplays the msgbox, "Wrong user name", or "wrong password" which ever is true.

For example the user name is "Manager" and the Password is "access".

Thanks in advance.

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
If they've already authenticated themselves successfully to Windows, why are you asking them to do it again?

Can't you just check their login name and allow them in (or otherwise) based on that?

So check their login name and allow them in based on that.

Environ("USERNAME") returns the login name of the user.

Windows security is much better than anything you can code in VBA.
