Default Excel Add In - Limited Use?


I coded an add in to be used only for 48days starting 28-Oct-04. No
before that and not after that. Just passing the instructions to use
accordingly is not sufficient. If any user uses it after that or befor
that, it will screw up the data.

How to acheive it programetically?

Thanks

You could test the date, and if not in your parameters, delete the add-in
code. See www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.htm for the code deletion technique

Not working outside the date range (as Bob Phillips suggested) is
acceptable behavior, but destroying user data would lead most potential
customers to look elsewere and potentially get you sued by those who
don't run.

Hi Myrna,

I think it was the OP that misunderstood.

I thought the suggestion was to remove the code in the addin rather than

the
data. Did I misunderstand?
