I never had a chance to try out the above, but now I'm in a situation where I may have to. I have 90 files which are updated by 3 different people in a HR department. Each file is specific working week, and each employee has a sheet within each file. They want each employee to be able to view just their own sheets for each of the files. But the people who update them need to have full access. If necessary (and I think it will be) rather than having a file for each working week and a sheet for each employee, we could have a file for each employee and a sheet for each week. But Can I create a seperate file listing all the users and passwords? Also, there are certain rows that the employees must not see, but I can manage that by just hiding them after the user has been identified. Can anybody help me out on this one at all? Thanks for all your help so far everybody.
