    VBA to manage workbook expiry date allowing for extensions

    Hi all,
    I hope you are well and staying safe.

    I have been working on what should be a relatively straightforward piece of code but I can't get it right and I don't have much hair left to pull out!
    Can someone take a look at the below please?

    What I am trying to do is load a workbook, check today's date versus a defined expiry date (exdate), if the expiry date is in the future then continue to open the workbook. If it is in the past (i.e. workbook expired) then I would like two options, one is an admin password ("test" in the below text) to let me in, the other would be a password to extend the life ("extend" in the below text). My intention would be to permit three extensions (stored in a named range/cell called ExtensionCount) and each time the "extend" password is used the macro will +1 onto the cell value. If you go over 3 extensions then the macro would inform you via a msgbox and exit, if you are 3 extensions or below it lets you in.
    I apologise in advance for my bad code, I'm chopping up someone else's solution to a simpler problem. I feel like it's pretty close but when I enter the extend password it is closing the workbook, I think I'm getting confused with the IFs and when to End If.

    Thanks for any advice you could offer.

    Re: VBA to manage workbook expiry date allowing for extensions

    Great job.

    Wanna ask one thing. If user opens the file after the "exdate" he has to write the password in every opening the file?
    Is there a possibility to add code that if he once write correct password there will be no need in writing it again e.g. another year form "exdate" time.
    thanks in advance.

    You could store exdate in a cell somewhere then as for a password, if the user gets the password correct simply update the cell to show a later date.

    Something like this, although I've not tested it.
