I currently have the following code in a user form:
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

Dim user As String
Dim password As String
user = Me.txtUserID.Value
password = Me.txtPassword.Value

If Date > DateValue("14-09-2023") Then
MsgBox "This Trial version has now expired and the Workbook will close."
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
Exit Sub

End If
If Date <= DateValue("14-09-2023") Then
MsgBox "This is a trial version and will expire on 14 September 2023."

End If

I want to change it so that the expiry date is 10 days from first opening the workbook. Anyone help?
 
You could password protect the code.
Also you could make HiddenSheet as xlVeryHidden in the code. This would make the sheet unable to be opened manually by Format>Unhide Sheet. It would have to be unhidden with code.
Could also (or instead) password protect the HiddenSheet.

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
You could password protect the code.
Also you could make HiddenSheet as xlVeryHidden in the code. This would make the sheet unable to be opened manually by Format>Unhide Sheet. It would have to be unhidden with code.

Yes, I made the sheet xlveryhidden and password protected the VBA so I'm happy with the result and have learnt a lot. Thanks
