Default macro for self destruct

I want a worksheet protected for my use only. if i leave this job i would
like a macro that will ask for passwords on a 10 day increment. If password
is not supplied the spreadsheet will erase.

Sounds malicious.... can u help?

For the same reason that I won't help with writing viruses I won't help with
this. As a guess you will not get a lot of help on this site with your
request. Around here there is a general policy of only using our powers for
good instead of evil.

Besides, since Excel cant run a specific macro on a specific date (can it?),
you'll need to call it from either Task Scheduler or a *.bat/WSH/VBS script
attached to your logon...leaving evidence of your intentions when the file
self-destructs/MIAs; confirmed by Googling "jwduthler" revealing a similar
thread in the microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions sig.

Suggest giving up this side-project and spend the effort in providing
sufficient work to maintain your position for the right reasons.
