How set time limit (6 months) for PPT presentation saved to CD (r.

[8web]

How do I set a time limit (say, 6 months) on a PPT 2003 presentation saved to
CD (e.g., I wish to render the CD unusable after date, etc)? Idea is to have
some control over the content sent to clients on a CD--we wish the CD to
'self-destruct' after a period of time, e.g., 6 months or1 year, etc. Thanks
for you help
Sincerely,

There is no fool proof way to do this built into PPT. One could write
a macro to check the date and close the file but that requires certain
things to have happed and is not easy to do in many situations and
there are ways around it.

Probably the best method might just to be honest and add a note to the
first page that the content is time senstive and is considered out of
date by a certain date.
