How to display hidden worksheet based on password. A workbook has multiple worksheets. The administrator wishes to assign each worksheet to a specific co-worker who can view the hidden worksheet by logging in via a user-form. As soon as another user logs in, the earlier worksheet is hidden and the new user can view only his worksheet. Watch the training video to see how the complete process is automated with VBA:
Watch this video on YouTube.
Here’s the complete VBA code:
Private Sub DisplaySheet(mySheet As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Unload Me
For i = 2 To Worksheets.Count
If i <> mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = False
If i = mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = True
Next i
Worksheets(“Reference”).Select
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Select Case Me.TextBox1.Value
Case “2”
DisplaySheet (2)
Case “3”
DisplaySheet (3)
Case “4”
DisplaySheet (4)
Case “5”
DisplaySheet (5)
Case “6”
DisplaySheet (6)
Case “7”
DisplaySheet (7)
Case Else
Me.Hide
Retry = MsgBox(“The Password is incorrect. Do you wish to try again?”, vbYesNo, “Retry?”)
Select Case Retry
Case Is = vbYes
Me.TextBox1.Value = “”
Me.TextBox1.SetFocus
Me.Show
Case Is = vbNo
Unload Me
Workbooks.Close
End Select
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
If CloseMode = 0 Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

How to display hidden worksheet based on passwordx
Hello Dinesh
Will you be able to share the work book ‘How to display hidden worksheet based on password’
Thanks
I’m trying to create the same workbook with the same code. I will then alter the passwords and information on the sheets.
I copied the coding directly out of the Excel Video and am receiving: Run-time error ‘9’: Subscript out of range
In the following coding:
Private Sub DisplaySheet(mySheet As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Unload Me
For i = 2 To Worksheets.Count
If i mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = False
If i = mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = True
Next i
Worksheets(“Reference”).Select
End Sub
The following is being highlighted in yellow “Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = False”
I have 7 sheets. See the whole coding that I have entered below:
Private Sub DisplaySheet(mySheet As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Unload Me
For i = 2 To Worksheets.Count
If i mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = False
If i = mySheet Then Worksheets(“Sheet” & i).Visible = True
Next i
Worksheets(“Reference”).Select
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Select Case Me.TextBox1.Value
‘Entering the Password – it is case-sensitive
Case “SBR001”
DisplaySheet (1)
Case “4HN001”
DisplaySheet (2)
Case “REA002”
DisplaySheet (3)
Case “MIF001”
DisplaySheet (4)
Case “MEA001”
DisplaySheet (5)
Case “Reference”
DisplaySheet (6)
Case “Validate”
DisplaySheet (7)
Case Else
Me.Hide
Retry = MsgBox(“The password is incorrect. Do you want to try again?”, vbYesNo, “Retry?”)
Select Case Retry
Case Is = vbYes
Me.TextBox1.Value = “”
Me.TextBox1.SetFocus
Me.Show
Case Is = vbNo
Unload Me
Workbooks.Close
End Select
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
If CloseMode = 0 Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

Hi
I got this to work, however there is a problem because all a user has to do is rightclick and unhide the other tabs when they are in the document….
