Dan, Thanks for your input. Yes, I now realize the contradiction in saying I'm not a programmer and I have written this program... I could have phrased it more succinctly by writing that I do not put myself in the same league as a hard core programmer. I write some ANSII C, basic and visual studio stuff for automation controllers/systems and graphical user interfaces. But I'm a licensed mechanical and electrical contractor. I was hoping to pick up some information (and expecting some pretty funny comments) which may have previously helped someone in the same position I find myself in... an uphill both ways journey with my work cut out for me trying to get a software product into the marketplace with a couple of partners who have the programming savvy to spin something really flashy and secure, others who may have funding for technology startups/an existing business infrastructure to plug this product into, etc. I realize that there isn't going to be a lot of interest by programmers without the right financing... but programmers may be the type which may have some good input as to where to start networking. Now that I think about it, I believe that someone mentioned his rich uncle in Zimbabwe(?) who for $10,000.00 (to make sure that I'm serious) can help me. I have to go...
I do appreciate your response. Thank you, and good luck in the challenge.
