Hello macropod!
Could I code the 'lockdown' generically? As in thru a checkbox entry macro
and how would the code look? i.e., " [ ] Secure section here" also probably
another checkbox to unlock for edits? I love your simple solution.... and
here is the 'but'

There are way too many supervisors / employees to 'hardwire' in usernames
