Hi Steven,

Compile the DBF into the APP/EXE file. That will disallow any viewing of the table data by outside sources (without a decompiler, of course).

The trade-off to this strategy is this, however: if the pricing data DOES change, you have to send out a new version of your app.

HTH.

>I have been asked to create an app that will be distributed to our customers. The app will be used as an order form. I intend to use tables to store static pricing data which will be used in calculations to produce a cost of our product based on options chosen. How can I secure the static table so our customer can't see how our pricing structure works? Please help.
