>Not harsh at all. You had every right to get final payment for the delivered product. I will sometimes build in a 'kill' feature for non-payment. This is date sensitive [around 90 days] with the kill date compiled into the APP. Once they pay, I give them a code to enter into the app that deactivates the kill feature.
I do the same thing, and on day 90, a message box comes up (if I have not disabled it) saying. Please call Bob Lee then the application quits.
That gets their attention. They want their data,I want to get paid. we have a meeting of the minds. Sorry to say that I have to resort to using that technique a few times. not often, but its there when I need it. And it works.
p.s. I usually have a special key stroke, which will work for that day, or two, depending if they are local, it works for one day. If I get paid, I take out the Kill .... its simple as taking out a hidden file .. But if they owe more money, in goes the file again. waiting like a time bomb.

In the beginning, there was a command prompt, and all was well.
