I have a form control button with a macro attached to it.

When a user clicks the button, I would like the user to be required to then enter the correct password in order for the macro to run, if an incorrect password is entered, I would like them to receive a message stating as such.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Place this macro in the button click event module. Change "MyPassword" (in red) to a password of your choosing. Insert your code where indicated.
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim response As String, PW As String
    PW = "[COLOR="#FF0000"]MyPassword[/COLOR]"
    response = InputBox("Please enter your password.")
    If response = "" Then Exit Sub
    If response <> PW Then
        MsgBox ("Invalid password.")
        Exit Sub
    End If
    'The rest of your code goes here.
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
