This is what I am currently doing, I know I need to improve this too
I have the customer info table password protected and the default name is
Dan Demo.
When a customer pays I send them a code locked file that updates the
customer table.
I just added a block of code that says If Lname = 'Demo' Then ....change
name Endif.
For Updates, I send a code locked file that Updates the Forms, Reports
and
anything else
I need. I have a password system that changes daily for each user. So,
Dennis, Larry and John
would have different passwords for the same day.
And I have an Owner password setup on the DB.
I did have an office call and say they were sorry, they got an illegal
copy
of my program
and had been using it for years and they wanted to pay up and clear the
slate. They would not
tell me where the got the copy from but I feel the Update system above
help
them see the light!
The biggest problem I have is some owners sell their business to a new
owner
and move. So,
I need to help the new owner change the business name info to his name
but
there is no real
way to stop the original owner from keeping a copy..... until he tries to
run a update! I have to
send each office a password, I know it is a pain but the best I could
think
of at the time I did this.
Good luck
Marc
