Out of curiosity, how long was it from initial concept (aka a hallucination by some nay-sayers <g>) until you began to work on this project? And how long was it from when you first started on the project and its initial deployment? Did your background in law enforcement (if I recall correctly you do have a law enforcement background) help you get through the red tape? Was VFP part of the solution design from the outset, or did you try to use something else and found VFP was more suitable? Or, did you select VFP largely because of familiarity (I do that, VFP works great for my needs, why move to anything else for internal processes)? Has anyone hit you with the "VFP ain't secure" line yet?
I agree with our one esteemed colleague, this seems to be a viable candidate for a competition. Do you have competition in the industry yet? Or are you a pioneer? If there is competition did you find using VFP and any other open-source or freeware solutions gave you a competitive edge re: hard cost consideration? I know using VFP allows me to provide very cost effective solutions. But I am working in a very narrow niche market where there is little opportunity to spread costs over a large field of users. Geez, so many questions. You have really gotten my attention on this one, John. Gil p.s. - at some point you may have folks asking if you need investors <G> heh-heh... Gilbert M.
