hi good people!,

I do not seem to find what I'm looking for..please help me...

Our I.T department has added two users to have a file I created to give them full rights. However, their names disappear from this list often, and I am now at a point where I'm really not in the mood to ask I.T to re-load their names. Why this happens, is really beyond me. So, I am looking for VBA which will look at the user who is opening the file, match the username with the permission list in VBA, and if the user is listed, then open the file with full access and permissions. Can anyone PLEASE help me out here?...all and any help will be accepted with the utmost of respect and humility!..Thank you all..

I'm using Excel 2013...

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
You are welcome...!!
Try taking ideas from the link I shared.
Another way can be, let Excel file open and picks the username (who opened the file) and then maps it with a column (where allowed usernames are already written) and if username is not there in the column then Excel file closes automatically. All this can be achieved using VBA (macro).
