Trial / Demo-Type MS Access module

2 New Member
Greetings,

I have developed a freeware ms access (mde format) application for non governmental organization. Althougt this is a freeware application i want to protect and tracking my application. therefore is there any tutorial / vba script for creating module for protecting my distribution. I want to protect my ms access distribution with day-expiration module. So if user want to use my application they must filled a registration code that requested to me via email. If they dont fill a registration code the application run in DEMO-VERSION / TRIAL VERSION and will disable to run in the next 30 days (30 time of application executed).

Your respons are highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Junchan

Thaks for your respon, basically i need to protect my ms access distribution. So i know who and what organization that used my application.
I need to create a vba module to run the application something like "Trial-Mode". So user must send me email to get activation key / file run on "LIVE-Mode".

Good ay junchan

Have a module ask for a valid email address on first startup and using a yes/no (true/false) field in table to validate that this has been done , from there the first intance the program is run you can use the Now function to get the time and date which is then also put into the table then calculate 30+ days as secondary date field , then every time the program is run the module can check to see if the date has passed by.

hope this helps
