VBA/Option to Open and Restrict a Spreadsheet to Open Only in Full Screen View

Hi,

I was wondering if there is an option/VBA code/steps that will automatically open a spreadsheet in full screen view and restrict users from toggling with the view unless a password has been entered. Pretty much the users will be using the spreadsheet only in full screen view while the administrator can have access to toggle the view and modify the spreadsheet.

Is there such an option/VBA?

Thanks,

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

This to prevent leaving it

in the second example, you can throw in an inputbox where, if the correct password is entered, it will allow the user to proceed

So I got to go into full screen, but I can easily just get out of it by double clicking the top or hitting ESC twice. I would like to make sure that the user can't exit the full screen at all
