How do I create a pop-up that appears when a file is opened if today's date is beyond a set date of the year? In other words, when today's date is after December 15, 2018, the pop-up message should appear when opening said file.
 

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.
Try placing the following sub in ThisWorkbook code section and saving the file as *.xlsm:
Code:
Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim x As Date
    x = #12/15/2018#
    If Date > x Then MsgBox "Today's date is past " & Format(x, "mmmm d, yyyy"), vbInformation
End Sub
