limiting number of uses
In a similar fashion I just want to count the number of times a file is
opened. Can you give me a little more direction on the command to
"increment" when the file is opened? Thank you

only superficial ways to do this. By superficial I mean that no matter what
you come up with it can probably be hacked and easily circumvented.
If all you need is a superficial way of telling a user that their input is
no longer desired there are probably a lot of ways to accomplish this. You
could store a number in a hidden worksheet that is incremented on open. The
code could then use this as a check digit and if it is greater than your
limit then display a message and exit.
You could also store information in a custom document property and retrieve
it to compare a drop dead date or again a counter of some sort.

I have a program I am going to send for review. My question is how can I set
up the workbook to not allow access after a certain number of times the
program is opened or how can i limit the number of days the program can be
accessed?
Thanks for you help
