Date Code for Trial Version

I have an application that I will be sending out, and expect people to send
me a check within 30 days. How do I program an application "kill" feature if
I don't email them the proper code upon payment?

My initial thought is to have a startup form that shuts down the application
on the open statement is the current date exceeds the kill date, and they
have not entered a valid code which will be stored in a table.

Is this a valid method? How is it normally done? I distribute Accress
2000 runtime versions of the application.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
yes you can use the first forms on load or on open event e.g.:

If DCount("[SerialField]","TableName") = 0 AND Date()>#YourDate# Then
MsgBox("Sorry...past 30 days and no serial yet!")
Application.Quit
End If

You could also limit the amount of records they can input if you wanted that
instead (would be a similar approach with the dcount function).
HTH
Good luck
