Multiple users accessing same workbook with password protect to view individual sheet.

[domu91]

Hello,

I have a macro set on one of my workbooks. The file contains four-employee sheets and a dashboard. The criteria for the macros was that when an employee opens the sheet and inputs their password, that individual sheet will show up. It works; however, I am encountering an issue when all four employees simultaneously open the file and make changes.

There are reports of employees saying they cannot see their sheet; other times, employee one will see employee two-sheet and vice versa. Is there a workaround to this?

It would be difficult to determine what is happening without seeing the workbook and the code.

Sub clear()
Dim toniSh, kiwiSh, shanettaSh, majdaSh As Worksheet
Dim m, m2 As Long
Dim pass As String

Application.Visible = False

Sheet7.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheet1.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet3.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet4.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet5.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

pass = ""
pass = InputBox("Please enter the password", "Password")
If pass <> "" And (pass = "T0ni123$" Or pass = "K1wi098$" Or pass = "Sh@nett@465" Or pass = "M@jda751" Or pass = "D@ShBoard99$") Then

Sheet1.Activate

ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If

Nothing jumps out at me with that code. Have you tried storing the file in OneDrive and use co-authoring instead of shared workbook?

yeah it is in a onedrive. Folder is shared to the employees. issue is multiple employee using it at once even with onedrive and 365
