Timeout-Lockout capability
I want to create some 'demos' of spreadsheet tools I use to give people the capability to 'test drive' them for say 30 days and after that, lock them out unless they 'subscribe' or get a different password to unlock the workbook. Is this possible, how easy/hard? Any sample code anyone has? Thanks in advance. -- Jim JBC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim JBC's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29015 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=487470 |

Timeout-Lockout capability
Put conditional formatting on all the cells that calculate values, choosing black font and black shading that comes into play when "today's date" is greater than a nominated date. The cell with the nominated date in it would be locked, black font, black shading. Lock all the "potentially black" cells and password protect the sheet. Users would be able to put in their own data to try out the spreadsheet, but after the specified date all key cells would turn black. -- bob777 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bob777's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28504 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=487470 |
