For added security I'd like to put in a password that protects the workbook that only comes up after 1 or 3 months, is this possible?

Thanks in advance

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Maybe look at the workbook open event?

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Now > 42298 Then
    ThisWorkbook.Protect Password:="SpongeBob"
End If
End Sub
