MYpassword =frm_pwd.Show won't work. Think about UserForms for a minute. you can have numerous text boxes, list boxes, labels and buttons.
When you close the form,
WHAT gets "returned" to the calling program?
In fact, I don't think the .Show method returns ANYTHING.
You might be able to create a UserForm_Terminate event macro
that would set Mypassword = frm_pwd.(name of password box)
That might be the best way to handle it with the userform.
Or make a button on the form.
Or even a change event for the password box on the form.

Static PasswordCorrect As Boolean
Dim MYpassword As String
If PasswordCorrect = False Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Select 'here We Move to Sheet1 (Or whatever sheet you
want, just change the name)
ElseIf PasswordCorrect = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
MYpassword = InputBox("Enter Password")
If MYpassword = "nwiadmin01'" Then 'excelpros01'
