    Timer into an access forms

    Hi everyone,



    I have a question regarding an application I am doing...

    I'd like asking if this is possible to add a "timer" into the code to avoid open the "forms" unless I change the "time"

    I mean I want to add something like a license for a determinated time for a "users" and if this license is "end" they cannot access

    Does somebody has something like this as example?

    Thanks in advance!
    Charly

    assuming you are storing user information, including the license start date and period or end date, then on login you can check the status of the user end date - and if now is later than the end date (or start date plus period) the app closes, with or without a friendly message.

    Yes I am recording like the user name and login time, etc
    It 's good idea to define new fields as startdate and enddate of license

    If anyone has an example of license management would be great too
    I mean to see more ideas
