MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2006How do I set up a time limit on a test form in Word?
I have a test form that I want to make available to students via e-mail, however, I want them to work on it for no more than three hours. I need to track time entering material or set a limit for when entries can be made from the time of first opening. Once they start, they should not be able to close the document and come back to it without the time expiring. Edit time doesn't work for this purpose. > I have a test form that I want to make available to students via > e-mail, however, I want them to work on it for no more than three > hours.

Well, one thought might be to write the start time somewhere in the registry, then check that as needed. Could be circumvented, but so could anything. (Locks only stop honest folks, eh?)

But I was hoping to shut the entry ability down after a set amount of time. > > I have a test form that I want to make available to students via > > e-mail, however, I want them to work on it for no more than three [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > registry, then check that as needed.

The more I thought about it, using document variables would likely be just as useful and far easier. (I come from a ClassicVB background, so I tend to overlook the "obvious" object-model based solutions, and go straight to the arcane.) In any event, in order to stop accepting input past a certain point, you need to first know when that point is reached, eh? SignatureWorking without a .NET? http://classicvb.org/ |
