I was given the code below but I cannot make it work. Even I placed an x in the A1 cell of blankSheet, I can go to another sheet and make a minor change before blanksheet is again activated. I am using this as a form of protection for intruders. What am I missing? Could someone help me with this please? Thank you very much . . .
Normal module

Sub GoToBlankSheet()
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("blankSheet").Activate
End Sub


and this in ThisWorkbook

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim keyCell As Range, testFor As String
Set keyCell = Sh.Range("A1"): Rem adjust
testFor = "x": Rem adjust

Select Case Sh.Name
Case Is = "blankSheet"
Rem do nothing
Case Else
If UCase(keyCell.Text) = UCase(testFor) Then
Call stopTime
End If
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Call stopTime
If Sh.Name = "blankSheet" Then
Call setTime
End If
End Sub

Sub setTime()
RunTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:04"): Rem adjust delay
Application.OnTime RunTime, "GoToBlankSheet"
End Sub

Sub stopTime()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime RunTime, "GoToBlankSheet", schedule:=False
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
If the user does not put an x in IntroSheet (for example - n ot in the code I sent you yet) A1 within 4 seconds, Blanksheet is activated. Also, the intruder should not be able to touch the workbook at all. This is a form of protection if you will. Thank you for your interest and help . . .
