Is there a macro or function that will limit the number of computers
that a file can open and operate on, regardless of how many times the
file has been renamed? I prefer to limit the number of computers to 3
if possible. Thanks.

Unless you were using some type of central registry, there would be no easy
way for a macro to determine how many computers a file was installed on,
particularly if it is renamed. Even if there was, any macro based solution
could be easily defeated.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Michael,
Sounds like a task for the OS permissions rather than Excel.
