    Hi,

    The sheets are password protected. You'll need to establish the password from the workbook owner.

    I am the owner, and even if I unlock them they still don't allow me to hide them. the vba project password is Kayley 98 and the sheet unprotect password is perfectpq

    The workbook structure is protected too. That's why you can't hide the worksheets even when you have unprotected them.

    On the Review tab, select Protect Workbook and un-tick Protect Structure and Windows.
