Hi,Create a new sheet. On that, in large font, enter "Macros must be enabled to use this workbook."Create a workbook close event macro that makes all sheets xlveryhidden except the new sheet.Create a workbook open event macro that hides the new sheet and unhides all the others.If the macros are disabled on open, the open workbook macro wont run, the notice sheet will be displayed, and all others will be hidden.(Sheets that are xlveryhidden can only be opened by vba)Regards - Dave.

Right now i have written the following vba code to achieve my objective. However, if some one were to choose to click 'Disable Macros', they can still access the contents of my file. Sub auto_open() UserN = Application.UserName Select Case (UserN) ... ...Show contents if UserN is a authorized user else, close the work book ... I am looking for means to close the file the moment an unauthorized person tries to access my file(s). Can some one help?
