How do I create a self-deleted file after a certain date?

[Guest]

I want to set a file to be auto-deleted after a certain date? Is there any
function to do this?

safin, only with VBA, but what happens if the user opens the workbook with
macros disabled? So I think the short answer is no

Hi stick this in the ' open workbook' code...

It should do what you want... the code is from an old post..
--------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With ActiveWorkbook
If Date > DateValue("12-Nov-2004") Then
.Saved = True
.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
Kill .FullName
.Close False
End If
End With

End Sub
