I am familiar with the the often referred to examples of how to force a user to enable macros to open a workbook. The file that I downloaded (code below) only allows saving as an .xls file. I am running 2007 and also have a macro that forces a user to save as .xlsm.

My workbook is made up of many worksheets, many of which ALWAYS need to be Very Hidden. The code below unhides all sheets.

If there are better ways to achieve my goals other than what is below, please let me know.

What I need help with:


1) allowing this macro to save only as an .xlsm file
2) how to add back the files that need to be Very Hidden - i.e. sheets: Formulas, Formulas1
3) each worksheet in this example has Option Explicit at the top of the page. Is this a requirement for every page in the workbook?

Code:
Option Explicit
Const WelcomePage = "Macros"
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    'Turn off events to prevent unwanted loops
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    'Evaluate if workbook is saved and emulate default propmts
    With ThisWorkbook
        If Not .Saved Then
            Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to save the changes you made to '" & .Name & "'?", _
                vbYesNoCancel + vbExclamation)
                Case Is = vbYes
                    'Call customized save routine
                    Call CustomSave
                Case Is = vbNo
                    'Do not save
                Case Is = vbCancel
                    'Set up procedure to cancel close
                    Cancel = True
            End Select
        End If
    
    'If Cancel was clicked, turn events back on and cancel close,
    'otherwise close the workbook without saving further changes
        If Not Cancel = True Then
            .Saved = True
            Application.EnableEvents = True
            .Close savechanges:=False
        Else
            Application.EnableEvents = True
        End If
    End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    'Turn off events to prevent unwanted loops
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    'Call customized save routine and set workbook's saved property to true
    '(To cancel regular saving)
    Call CustomSave(SaveAsUI)
    Cancel = True
    
    'Turn events back on an set saved property to true
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    'Unhide all worksheets
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Call ShowAllSheets
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub CustomSave(Optional SaveAs As Boolean)
    Dim ws As Worksheet, aWs As Worksheet, newFname As String
    'Turn off screen flashing
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    'Record active worksheet
    Set aWs = ActiveSheet
    
    'Hide all sheets
    Call HideAllSheets
    
    'Save workbook directly or prompt for saveas filename
    If SaveAs = True Then
        newFname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
            fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
        If Not newFname = "False" Then ThisWorkbook.SaveAs newFname
    Else
        ThisWorkbook.Save
    End If
    
    'Restore file to where user was
    Call ShowAllSheets
    aWs.Activate
    
    'Restore screen updates
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub HideAllSheets()
    'Hide all worksheets except the macro welcome page
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    Worksheets(WelcomePage).Visible = xlSheetVisible
    
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If Not ws.Name = WelcomePage Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
    Next ws
    
    Worksheets(WelcomePage).Activate
End Sub
Private Sub ShowAllSheets()
    'Show all worksheets except the macro welcome page
    
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        If Not ws.Name = WelcomePage Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
    Next ws
    
    Worksheets(WelcomePage).Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub
