LockDate

[pezo89]

Hi,

i am making a little script for work.

but my question is how can i make the script not function after a spesific date`?

only way i can tell is to have it draw the biosdates into an ini file, and check them up against ea.

but as that requires the user to have the script running every day it is not the best option..

any ideas

it is plain and simple a Lock/delete section of the script to make it unusable after a spesific date/month

in advance,

Thanks for any responses.

Two years here but you haven't found Macros and If..Then loops in the helpfile?

God point

thanks for the help thou. however i have one issue thou

when having the logical operator to check if value is higher, it also fails when it is the same, how can i bypass that?

$date = @YEAR 
$date2 = @MON  
if $date2 <= 03 Then    
MsgBox(0,"Error","DAte over limit")     
endif

Nvm figured it out

final product

$Enddate = 03 ;Put the enddate here
$date2 = @MON ;Check against current month

;if the current date is higher than the current date, stop the program
if $date2 <$Enddate Then
    MsgBox(0,"Error","DAte over limit")
    endif

Also take a look at the Date Management section in the User Defined Functions Reference section of the help file. This code, after some modification, may be useful to you too.
