With Sheets("Username")

If Not Application.Match(driveC, drive, 0) Then
    MsgBox "Hallo " & Environ("UserName")

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Hi,
Try this:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
  Dim SerialNumber As String
  SerialNumber = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").Drives("C").SerialNumber
  If SerialNumber = Me.Sheets("Username").Range("A1").Value Then
    MsgBox "Wellcome " & Environ("UserName")
  Else
    MsgBox "Hello " & Environ("UserName") & vbLf _
         & "Sorry, but your can't use this workbook!", _
            vbExclamation, "Close"
    Me.Close False
  End If
End Sub

You are welcome! Negative serial number is native, but you may use its absolute value as well:
SerialNumber =Abs(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").Drives("C").SerialNumber)
