Hardeep kanwar

Hi! Everyone

I don't Know Whether my Question have a Sense or not.

But it is Possible to Expire Excel Sheet on Specific Time or Date.


And Even if I Mail that sheet to any Person and he Open After the Expiry
Time or Date

I want to Show the Message "Unable to Open"


Protected Sheet is not a good Option These Password can be Break Easily


Any Help Would be Most Appreciate

RyGuy

Can you download the example Chip has on his site? I already sent you the
link. Copy/paste your data into that downloaded file. Does that work for
you, or do you have lots and lots of functions, other code, etc., that you
can't transport to the downloaded file.

HTH,

There are some things you can do, use the code you have along with
http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/downloads/11-force-macro-use.html then
if then you can use the Ontime method as shown at Chip Pearsons site to
hide all the sheets except the welcome sheet after 5 minutes

*How to say GET A CLUE!*

Most folks view Usenet in a completely 100% text only manner.

You web based Usenet access dopes are the ones that think your fancy
posts actually get viewed by others the same way you post it. Most only
see the text portions.

There are no damned buttons here, idiot!

Good advice, however, just not a very good grasp of the forum.
