Using macro, but required user to run the macro This is the basic, user still can skip this by changing date on his computer
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Expired As Date
Expired = "20 Jul 2013"
If Now() > Expired Then
MsgBox "File " & ThisWorkbook.FullName & " expired"
ThisWorkbook.Close
End If
End Sub
Next step, you may add a cell validation on current file to avoid
skipped by user with changin the date on his computer
Once the expiration msg appear, it will write in sheet1 cell A1 a word
EXPIRED, then everytime file open, it will check that cell and also the
date on current computer, if one of that criteria match then it will
still close the workbook.
If Now() > Expired or *Sheet1**.Range(**"A1") = "EXPIRED"* Then
MsgBox "File " & ThisWorkbook.FullName & " expired"
*if Sheet1**.Range(**"A1") <> "EXPIRED" then
*** Sheet1**.Range(**"A1") = "EXPIRED"***
**ThisWorkbook.Save
End If
* ThisWorkbook.Close
End If
