I have two questions, I have created a mini VBA
application as a qualifying tool. I would like for that
application to stop working after a given date, so users
are forced to come back to me for the most current
version
of the application. I had considered placing an if then
statement in the userform initialize area, so if the
system date is greater than the preset time, they would
receive an error message directing them back to me for an
updated copy. Could someone give me an idea of the code
that would accomplish this task, or alternately if there
are other ideas on how to achieve the end result, that
would also be greatly appreciated.

Part 2, is anyone aware of a good source of information
on
how to practically protect users from accessing the VBA
code area of the document. I also know that this
protection is moderate at best, but a low hurdle for the
casual user should be good enough for this application.

Thanks for any assistance

Dave
