If you can wait and deliver the app until VFP7 has been released then you could build-in a security mechanism in the DBC (using DBC events) so no external users can USE the table and browse it. Yet, this security mechanism won't be bulled proof -- I guess you will need to evaluate what kind of security you need.

Another option would be that you store the price value encripted, so even if somebody can read the table they won't be able to make sense out of it. Your application will decrypt the price before using it.

>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.
