Excel 2003 - open work book useage agreement
 

I have an Excel 2003 workbook. I want to creat a window that when the
workbook is opened the window appears. In the window it shows text I have
written about the useage terms of the workbook. The user must agree by
clicking a I ACCEPT button to use the file or click I DO NOT ACCEPT and the
workbook closes.

Hi,

Before we begin you need to understand that what your tring to do is a waste
of time in terms of security. This popup window and the accept/decline
buttons will be controlled by code so if your user opens with macros disabled
then all your security is gone. There are 'methods' of making such things a
bit more robust but in the final analysis they would not prevent anyone with
even a little knowledge from defeating whatever you put in place.

Still want to proceed?

Hi Mike H,

I understand what you are saying, however I would like to proceed becuase
the users are internal and they all use the same Marco settings.
