Hi all

This may be steep requirement. I have multiple interest from clients for an application of mine which is currently under works. I intend to charge the clients on a module by module basis so if a client orders module x he will be charged for it but other clients should not be able to see it till they pay for it. I don't think I will be able to manage multiple exes it has to be in the same main exe. I just intend to flag it at the menu option level (the database contains all and every table for all the clients).

What kind of a coding scheme would you suggest. The general concept I have in mind is that I have a code assigned to each and every client. This code will contain the information of which modules are available to the client. At every (class based) menu option I should check if the menu should be visible or not.

Now the million dollar question is there may be many modules and many combination all to be gleaned from this one code. I could use a character code which could have 1 for active 0 for invisible for eg. 0100111 (modules 2, 5, 6 and 7 visible) but then the field will have to be huge.

Any better idea?

Thanks.
Regards
Bhavbhuti
