    How to limit use for a trial period or number of uses then serial code required

    Hello
    I'm going to be selling access applications and need to offer a trial period before purchase. Can anybody help with a way of doing this please. It doesn't need to be mega secure. There must be a way to do it through an autexec macro. VBA is something I have very little knowledge about.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you June7 for such a prompt reply. I've had a look at the link but that is beyond my capability. I'm hoping someone can walk me through what I need to do explaining the steps in very simple terms. I'm proficient at queries, form, reports, etc. but macros and VBA is new territory. Many Thanks.

    I don't think what you want is simple and I have never done either of the features I describe (executable and licensing).
