I have a button of which activates a macro to reset a work calculations calendar. It is important that I don't accidentally click the button till its time. I could just set it up manually enter the variable that would handle the resetc(which is what I had), but the button would be nice if I could just password or otherwise protect it.
If this is a VB solution... go easy on me. It's my short coming.
Thanks to any solutions

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Try
Code:
Sub Pword()

    Dim Ans As Variant
    Const Pword As String = "Zebra"
    
    Do While Ans <> Pword
        Ans = Application.InputBox("Please enter password to continue.", "Enter Password")
        If Ans = Pword Then Exit Do
        If Ans = False Then Exit Do
     Loop

End Sub
