>>I don't have it with me, but there was a neat little ditti in an issue of FoxPro Advisor that required the user to get an activation code from you. The activation code that you give would activate the program for their use for a finite period of time, as determined by your activation code. I use a variant of the code in my program. The entire code was in the Advisor. If this sounds interesting, write me and I'll scan my cd to find out which issue it was in.
