How to run a macro when using the red X button before closing an excel sheet

[BenKenya]

Hi there, I am trying to create a welcome page to my WorkBook and set a password activated button to only open specific sheets relevant to that one person. I think I have done this. But when they leave the spreadsheet via the RED X Button, all the sheets are left exposed. I want to set it up in a way that the RED X button when pressed to close activates a "Before -Close" function and hides all the sheet tabs and returns the Workbook back to the welcome sheet when opened by another member of our group. Is that even possible??

Thank you

Ben

I am still searching for a way to do this, but I am trying to find a different way maybe using Command S to activate the same Macro. Any ideas folks would be amazing!

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum BenKenya,

Place this code behind the workbook event for Before Close. In VBA double click ThisWorkbook, change the dropdown on the left from General to WorkBook and then on the right change the drop down to BeforeClose

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim StrName As String
    StrName = "Welcome"
    For Each ws In Worksheets
        If ws.Name <> StrName Then
            ws.Visible = xlSheetHidden
        End If
    Next
End Sub
