Hi,

I have a code to show different rows of a worksheet that asks for a password
when the workbook is opened as follows:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_open()

Sheets("Risk Log").Select
ActiveSheet.Rows("2:500").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
Dim strPasswd As String

strPasswd = InputBox("Please enter Password", "Restricted Access")

'Check to see if there is any entry made to input box, or if
'cancel button is pressed. If no entry made then exit sub.

If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then
MsgBox "Please enter the abbreviated name of your department or your
password if you have been assigned one. Please note they are case sensative",
vbInformation, "Required Data"
Sheets(Sheet2).Select
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
Exit Sub
End If

'If correct password is entered open Employees form
'If incorrect password entered give message and exit sub

Select Case strPasswd
Case "Hockey"
Call ShowOrHide("Commercial")
Exit Sub
Case "ESD"
Call ShowOrHide("Environment & Sustainable Development")
Exit Sub
Case "CCE"
Call ShowOrHide("Culture, Ceremonies & Education")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Exit Sub

Case Else
MsgBox "Please enter the correct password, they are case
sensative", _
vbOKOnly, "Important Information"
Sheets(Sheet2).Select
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
End Select

'If correct password is entered open Employees form
'If incorrect password entered give message and exit sub

strPasswd = InputBox("Please enter Password", "Restricted Access")

Select Case strPasswd
Case "Hockey"
Call ShowOrHide("Commercial")
Case "ESD"
Call ShowOrHide("ESD")
Case "CCE"
Call ShowOrHide("Culture, Ceremonies & Education")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case ""
Call ShowOrHide("")
Case Else
MsgBox "You have not entered the correct information this
workbook will now close. Please contact Alison to obtain your password.", _
vbOKOnly, "Important Information"
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
End Select

End Sub

Private Sub ShowOrHide(department As String)
Dim count As Integer
Dim currentDept As String

'''Define rows needing searched
Dim rowFrom As Integer
Dim rowTo As Integer

'''CHANGE HERE IF NEW RISKS ADDED''''
rowFrom = 2
rowTo = 500
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

For count = rowFrom To rowTo
currentDept = Cells(count, 1).Value

If (currentDept = department) Then

ActiveSheet.Rows(count).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Else

ActiveSheet.Rows(count).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If

Next count

End Sub

What I need to do is set it so that if I enter password "Password1" it will
show me everything.

I tried to do it myself but I can't make it work and I don't know too much
about VBA so need some help.

Thanx,
A

The code you posted is obviously designed to provide a degree of security for
the data which knowing the password will allow one to access. Before
compromising that security by changing the code as it now exists, you should
get the originator of the code to authorize you to make the change.

I am the originator.

I had a lot of help writing this though and have tried my best to get it to
show me all of them when I use "Password1" but can't figure it out.

Then it looks like you need to add another case for "Password1" so that when
it is the "strPasswd" , you can unhide all of the rows with:

Worksheets(1).Rows.Hidden = False

You will need to change the Worksheets index number or name to the
appropriate one, but that line will unhide all rows on the applicable sheet.
It works the same with columns. If this is not what you needed, then maybe
additional explanation will help.
