Hi, I hope this is an easy one someone could help with - how do you put a password prompt in a macro so that it brings up a message box asking the user to enter a password before the macro runs successfully? Also is it possible to password restrict all macros so that no one came go in and alter the script/text - only you can see and edit with the password? Thanks in advance. David

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
You can use the below lines before your VBA code

Code:
Sub ABC()

Dim Pass As String
Pass = "Test"

If InputBox("Please enter the password to run the macro") <> Pass Then
    MsgBox "Incorrect password !", vbExclamation, "Error"
    Exit Sub
End If

'place your VBA code here

End Sub
