For do that, you need to know the unique value on each computer to determine that the file was used on another computer.
Something that will unique on every computer is Hardisk SN

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim MySN, CurrentSN As String
    MySN = "1409978829" 'Your Current Hardisk Serial Number
CurrentSN = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetDrive(Left(Application.Path, 1) & ":\").SerialNumber
    If MySN <> CurrentSN Then
        MsgBox "Unautorized Access"
'....place your code to do next in here while unauthorized access detected...
    End If
End Sub

hi all
can anybody suggest a vb code or a macro to a excel file the moment it is opened it can check on the usage of the file or it can stop from further use until it is being given permission by the creator of the file

basically it should not be copied and if copied from one computer to the other, it should have a restriction to limited time frame say month, day, time or limited number of days
until the user contacts the creator of the file

your sugesstion and feedback well apprecitated sample file can be sent if required


Regards
