I found this code from a really old post for password protecting a specific sheet in a workbook, but if the wrong password is put in, it locks up the whole workbook and excel, which I'd like to avoid.

Code:
Public PvSh As String


Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
If Sh.Name = "Sheet2" Then
    Num = ActiveWindow.Index
    Windows(Num).Visible = False
    If InputBox("Enter Password", "Password") <> "Mypassword" Then
        Sheets(PvSh).Select
    End If
    Windows(Num).Visible = True
End If
End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
PvSh = Sh.Name
End Sub

I'm really a noobie when it comes to VBA, so if someone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Or if there's something better, I'd take that too. :)

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
