Torque, this is what I wrote for mine...feel free to use it and change the sheet name and other parameters as necessary...
First, you need to add 0 in cell A1 in whatever sheet you decide to use. You also need to add your sheet name in the place of whateversheet.
to make your sheet veryhidden, It's easy to do in the properties window. In the VBE (visual basic editor), hit F4 and then select the sheet you want to hide in the project window. At the bottom of the properties window, you can select the visibility. Select xlsheetveryhidden. You can also use code to do it, but I would do it this way if I were you. To unhide it, just select it to be visible in the same window.
Sub ExpNoTimes()
Dim nmbopen As String, Nope as String, Nope1 as String
Activeworkbook.Sheets("whateversheet").Activate
nmbopen = Range("A1").Value
nmbopen = nmbopen + 1
Range("A1").Value = nmbopen
If nmbopen = 5 Then
Nope = MsgBox("This is the last time you will be able to use this tool.", vbCritical)
ElseIf nmbopen > 5 Then
Nope1 = MsgBox("You have exceeded the trial period." + Chr(10) + Chr(10) + _
"Excel will now close.", vbCritical)
Application.Quit
End If
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
