Is there a better way to set this code up ?
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

On Error GoTo TheEnd

Sheets("Config").Activate
If Environ("username") = ("ouaaye") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "     Figure you earned it !!"
End With
End If
If Environ("username") = ("OWNER") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "                             :O)"
End With
End If
If Environ("username") = ("inakgr") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "                             :O)"
End With
End If
If Environ("username") = ("appjcl") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "                             :O)"
End With
End If
If Environ("username") = ("inabgi") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "                             :O)"
End With
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Hi

How about
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

On Error GoTo TheEnd

Sheets("Config").Activate
 If Environ("username") = "ouaaye" Or Environ("username") = "OWNER" Or Environ("username") = "inakgr" Or Environ("username") = "appjcl" Or Environ("username") = "inabgi" Then
   Ans = Cells(2, FindColumn("Config", Environ("username")))
   MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & Ans & "     Figure you earned it !!"
 End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I'm assuming that FindColumn is a function that requires the sheet name and username and there is more code to follow.

Perhaps:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

    On Error GoTo TheEnd                'Not sure what this is for
    Sheets("Config").Activate
    If Environ("username") = ("OWNER") Or Environ("username") = ("ouaaye") Or Environ("username") = ("inakgr") Or Environ("username") = ("appjcl") Or Environ("username") = ("inabgi") Then
        With Sheets("Config")
            TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
            ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
        End With
        If Environ("username") = ("ouaaye") Then
            MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & " Figure you earned it !!"
        Else
            MsgBox "The password to access the VB environment is  " & ans & "                             :O)"
        End If
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False  'This looks to be in the wrong place

End Sub

Below is the entire code for what is going on at wb open ... I am attempting to allow a msgbox with vb properties password to be shown on open to certain users of the wb ... i.e IT department/ admin ...

Both codes above do not populate a message box, I tried that so "Or" and it would only allow a msgbox for the first user in the statement ....

My apologies TAZ, the code your provided worked .... The other (although looks very similar only showed msgbox the first name was logged in ...

Hi

Does the messagebox appear with nothing in it or does it not appear at all??? If the former, and it hasn't been saved with the right sheet as the active sheet when it is opened, the it will appear as a blank.

The row
Ans = Cells(2, FindColumn("Config", Environ("username")))
will have to be changed to
Ans = sheets("whatever").Cells(2, FindColumn("Config", Environ("username")))

Also, missed the different messages as noted by Tasguy....

Haven't been able to test this code, so apologies if it doesn't work;

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim goodGuy As Boolean
Dim msgText(2) As String

On Error GoTo TheEnd

Sheets("Config").Activate

Select Case Environ("username")
Case "ouaaye"
    goodGuy = True
    msgText(1) = "The password to access the VB environment is  "
    msgText(2) = "Figure you earned it !!"
Case "OWNER", "inakgr", "appjcl", "inabgi"
    goodGuy = True
    msgText(1) = "The password to access the VB environment is  "
    msgText(2) = "                             :O)"
Case Else
    goodGuy = False
    msgText(1) = ""
    msgText(2) = ""
End Select

If goodGuy = True Then
    With Sheets("Config")
        TheAns = FindColumn(.Name, Environ("username"))
        ans = Cells(2, TheAns)
    End With
    MsgBox (msgText(1) & ans & msgText(2))
End If
goodGuy = False

It's looks OK now, but without all the code, it was a bit hard to figure out why it was there.

The msgbox appears with nothing in it ... tried your change and that corrected it.
Thanks for all the input ..
