    Hi All, Is it somehow possible to place an expiration on a dvb?

    Cheers...

    Why bother, since there is no real way to protect the code.

    eaiser way around?

    I could use...ha
    MsgBox "Reformat your C:\ Drive?..." & vbCrLf & _
    "Cancel or OK to continue..", vbCritical, _
    "Call me...!!"

    Getting off topic now but what I find funny is when someone posts wanting to know how to crack their password when they have lost it.
    I guess having a password although it won't stop the people serious about stealing your code it may stop the casual thieves.

    Buy a library. There are many, a few under a hundred bucks. Want an
    open-source one for free? Check here.

    Good one - I'm familiar with it but have never tried in vba because I
    hardly write anything there. Does AL lock the dvb from viewing? Would
    defeat the purpose if a user could get past the dvb password and remove the
    AL control ????

    Dunno. I've never actually had the need to use a demo timeout / key code
    widget. To date, all my AutoCAD VBA projects have been "work-for-hire", so
    client owns the source. I have come across some that said they would
    protect Access VBA code. But, I've misplaced my list of such utilities. If
    it turns up, I'll post it.

    You can be creative with referencing the microsoft visual basic for extensibility.
