Default how to expire Excel file after certain date

Apparently you used Chip Pearson's TimeBomb code.

Did you read Chip's comments on Excel security?

Only effective to keep "honest" persons from hacking your workbook and its
code.

Read this from Chip's site.........................

All protection mechanisms in Excel are really intended to prevent the user
from accidentally changing a value or some code. The security just isn't
strong enough to provide real protection of proprietary information or
information or code with intellectual property value. For that level of
security, you should be writing your code in Visual Basic 6 or VB.NET. See
Creating A COM Add-In for details about creating a COM Add-In and Automation
Add Ins A Function Libraries for details about creating an Automation
Add-Ins.

Another point.........................

You cannot change a user's macro security settings via code.

If you could, there would be no point in having levels of macro security.

Hi Som

On your query on how to protect macro
User Tools--VBA Properties--Protection to protect the macro

If macro security is by default set to high; then there is no point trying
out with macros.

If this post helps click Yes
