Password Protect Report OnOpen

Is it possible to have a password for a report?

I have a button which opens a report, however the information in the report is sensitive and therefore is only to be viewed by certain people.

Ideally i would like something along these lines.

When a user clicks on the report button, a question type box will appear requesting the password, if the password is correct then the report is displayed, else an error message saying incorrect password.

If anybody has done something similar before or can offer advice it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Only thing I could think of would be:
Code:
If InputBox("Enter password")= "password" Then
  DoCmd.OpenReport "reportname"
Else
  MsgBox "Invalid Entry"
End If


Although certainly not secure to anyone who knows how to get into the code editor and peruse code.

Hi June7, this should do the trick as everybody outside of my team only has runtime version. Thanks for the tip, i'll give it a go. Much appreciated.
