December 29, 200619 yr Greetings, everyone! I've created a demo-type database (in a run-time solution) but want it to "drop dead" 14 days after its hard-coded start date. The date calculation parts works fine, but as much as I've tinkered with the script to have the solution shut down after the drop dead date, I can't get it to work; I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for your help and have a prosperous and healthy 2007! Here's what I have so far: Table = Main Demo_start_date (Type: Date) Demo_expire_date = Demo_start_date + 14 (Calculation Result: date) Demo_countdown = Demo_expire_date - Get(CurrentDate) (Calculation Result: Number) Script: If[Main::Demo_expire_date > Get(CurrentDate)] Exit Application Else Perform Script ["Splash screen"] End If
December 29, 200619 yr Here is a similar post regarding timed demo versions. With your solution checking the current date to determine if it has past 15 days or not, the user can easliy circumvent it by changing the system clock. Demo Expiration Thread
January 2, 200719 yr Author Thanks, Mr. V, for the link. Yeah, I forgot to take into consideration system clock changing. The nerve of some people!
