Well, one simple solution is to limit the number of records in key tables, or in all tables. Let's say your class library uses NewRecord() in the parent-of-all-forms to add a new record:
* Method NewRecord()
if DEMO_VERSION and reccount() > 100
  MessageBox("The demo version only allows 100 records in any one table.")
  return

* Commands to insert record start here.
DEMO_VERSION, of course, is defined as a constant (#DEFINE).

HTH, Hilmar.
