Hi

I hope you can help I'm looking to introduce a front page to a worksheet which users must agree (tick box or click button) to the T&C's before they can look at subsequent sheets.

I know how to add buttons etc but not sure how to add the security feature.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Alison,

Welcome to the Board.

One approach would be to hide all the sheets except the front page when the workbook is opened, then present the user with a message box containing the terms and conditions, and if agreed to, unhide the sheets.

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim agree As Integer

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.Name <> "Sheet1" Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden 'Change "Sheet1" to the name of your front page sheet
Next ws

agree = MsgBox(prompt:="Paste your terms and conditions between these quotation marks." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you agree with the Terms & Conditions?", Title:="Agreement", Buttons:=vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
If agree = vbYes Then
    For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
        ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
    Next ws
End If
End Sub

The code should be pasted into the ThisWorkbook module.

Please note that this kind of security is not very secure; anyone that can open the vbe can unhide the sheets.

Cheers,

tonyyy
