First, I do know that there is no sure way to protect an Excel file. They don't provide a good security system. But I feel you can make it very hard for the unexperienced individulas.

I have found a Forced Macro Enable Code and I have tried to add an expire code to it without much excess. It does test , but when I apply it the Marco Enable works fine, but the Expire does not.

If someone could look at the "Expire" part below and tell where I went wrong, I would be greatful. Thank You

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
HideSheets
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UnhideSheets

MsgBox "This evaluation program will expire on 8/30/2006"
Dim staticdate As Date

staticdate = #8/1/2006#
If VBA.Now - staticdate < 30 Then

Workbooks.Open Filename:="c:\Evaluiation\Test.xls", Password:="*"

MsgBox "I'm sorry, the evaluation program you are trying to access has expired. You may purchase the full program with all functions from Sunflower-Dillard,Inc. Contact Sunflower-Dillard, Inc. at sunflower_teachers@XXXXX.com. Thank you."

MsgBox "This spreadsheet is no longer active. " & _
"Excel will shut down now", vbExclamation

End If

End Sub



Private Sub HideSheets()
Dim sht As Object

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Macros Disabled").Visible = xlSheetVisible

For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets

If sht.Name <> "Macros Disabled" Then sht.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

Next sht

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

ThisWorkbook.Save

End Sub

Private Sub UnhideSheets()
Dim sht As Object

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets

sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible

Next sht

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Macros Disabled").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
