If you want to tie it to the WORKSTATION, then here's what I'd suggest:
First, send him a file that contains the macro:
Sub auto_open()
If (Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "") Then Range("A1").Value =
Environ$("computername")
End Sub
and have him save it and return it to you
(that will give you his workstation "computer name")
then,
in your file, create an Auto_Open macro
or a Workbook_Open event macro and use something like:
If (Environ$("computername") = "xxx") Then
Sheets(3).Visible = True
Sheets(4).Visible = True
End If
Now, if you want it to run as long as it's HIM, regardless of the workstation,
then
you could do something similar with his userid.

Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Open Worksheet if Filepath verified
I have an excel file that I want to give to an employee that will only
run if it is on their computer. I am looking for a macro that would
show perhaps an introduction page and if the file name/path matches
maybe a cell on the introduction page then it will unhide the (3
sheets) that the employees needs. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
