Store Database Date Timelines in Registry (1 Viewer)

[jaikaoliver]

Hello Good People,
I once came across such a database that could store say date when the database started an will expire then could validate time remaining for the usage of a database
I cant recall the code neither site, can anyone be in know of this

My computer's HDD crashed so lost lots of code

save your expire date:
Call SaveSetting(pvAppName, pvSection, pvKeyName, pvValue)

get back the saved date:

vDate = GetSetting(pvAppName, pvSection, pvKeyName)
if date() >vDate then
   msgbox "Time Expired"
   docmd.quit
endif

When you create the registry key, don't use a name that will be too obvious. You don't want someone to accidentally discover how to manipulate the expiration date of your app.
