Hello, I have this code to open the workbook on a specific device. I want to modify it so that I can add other devices

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Environ("computername") <> "ADMIN" Then
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    MsgBox ("you can't run this workbook on this computer")
    ThisWorkbook.Close
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Perhaps something like this.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Select Case Environ("computername")
    Case "ADMIN", "ADMIN2", "ADMIN3", "ADMIN4", "ADMIN5"    ' <<< list of allowable devices
    Case Else
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        MsgBox "You can't run this workbook on this computer!", vbOKOnly Or vbCritical, Environ("computername")
        ThisWorkbook.Close
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    End Select
End Sub
