Make a Trial Date Macro ?
 

hi.
to quote Ron de Bruin....
"You can place Private before a sub like this Private Sub test() Or add this
at the top of the module Option Private Module This way you don't see it in
the macro list (Alt-F8) and you can Protect your project in the VBA editor
Alt-F11 In the menubar ToolsVBA project properties See the protection tab
This way they can't see or edit your code"

As to the time delay part you could do this

at the beginning of your macro...

IF Date <=#8/15/2005# then 'or a time period you prefer
MsgBox (" this macro has expired")
Exit Sub
End If

this way if the date you set has passed, the user gets a message and the macro
shuts down.
