Hi all,

I am using this code to open a workbook with a splash screen as follows. Unfortunately when I enter it and try to exit, I get an error which states:

"Compile error:
Ambiguous name detected: Workbook_BeforeClose"

What should i do to correct it?

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    MSG1 = MsgBox("Spreadsheet created by ABC." & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _"2019." & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _    
"By selecting Yes to this message box you agree to the following Terms of Use:" & Chr(10) & _    
"No part of this product may be shared with third parties." & Chr(10) & _    Chr(10) & 
"The information held within is accurate as of Jan 2019." & Chr(10) & Chr(10) & _    
"Contact Us: xx@xx.com", vbYesNo, "Terms of Use")        

If MSG1 = vbYes Then  ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
Else  MsgBox "This Workbook Will Now Close"  
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges = False
End If        

    With Application
        .ShowChartTipNames = False
        .ShowChartTipValues = False
    End With
    AppEventsOn
    Worksheets(1).Activate
    ActivateSheet ActiveSheet

        Dim exdate As Date
    exdate = "12/12/2020"
    If Date > exdate Then
        MsgBox ("You have reached end of your time")
        ActiveWorkbook.Close
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

    With Application
        .ShowChartTipNames = True
        .ShowChartTipValues = True
    End With
    AppEventsOff
End Sub

    
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)' 
--------------------------------------------------------------------    
With Application
        .ShowChartTipNames = True
        .ShowChartTipValues = True
    End With    AppEventsOff
End Sub

Delete one of the BeforeClose events

How do I do this. I'm not strong on VBA. The above code I took from another spreadsheet in which it worked like a treat. Essentially what I want this code to be able to do is to open the file with a splash screen seeking a YES/No to terms of conditions before using the file. It also has a trial period date set after which the file automatically closes.

Please advise
