Hi,
I have a code that I use to launch an input box, when the correct password is entered it unlocks a specific tab, that was previously VeryHidden. I'd like to modify it so it also hides the current sheet when the answer is correct. When I try to modify, I end up hiding the active sheet whether the password is correct or incorrect. Thank you in advance!

Example, within Sheet1 I click a box, type in a password. If password is correct it unhides Sheet 2 and hides Sheet 1. If it is incorrect, Sheet 1 remains visible and Sheet 2 stays very hidden.


Code:
Sub UnlockSheet2()
With Sheets("Sheet2")
    .Visible = IIf(InputBox("Enter the correct password") = "PASSWORD", xlSheetVisible, xlSheetVeryHidden)
    If .Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Then MsgBox "Sorry wrong answer, try again!"
End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
How about
Code:
Sub UnlockSheet2()
   If InputBox("Enter the correct password") = "PASSWORD" Then
      Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = True
      Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
   Else
      MsgBox "Sorry wrong answer, try again!"
   End If
End Sub
