MDE file shareware?

Hi,

I want to be able to offer a time limited version of my database. For
example I do not want the program to be able to run after x ammount of days
have gone by.

Could I create this inside access?

You will need the MDB file which then can be converted to a MDE file. I can
set up a limited time version of your database for you. If you want my help,
contact me at my email address below.

Did you read what Tony Toews' stuff on this?

Here are some links/samples that should help with this topic:

http://members.shaw.ca/glenk/access2000.html
Look for the downloads:
"Updated have Database Expire After 30 Days Of Use"

"Updated have Database Expire After 30 Days Of First Being Opened."

MVP Tony Toews' thoughts on demos/expiration coding:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/demo.htm

Peter De Baets has a product called KeyedAccess that will do this I believe:
http://www.peterssoftware.com/ka.htm

Paul Overway has something similar here:
http://www.logico-solutions.com/
--Go to Add-ins/Extras area and look for "Logico Solutions MDB Lock"

Also try here:

Good luck,

Since this is a public newsgroup and you aren't GOD, get over it you
bastard. You are just one of those that crawl out of the woodwork when
someone does something wrong in your eyes, you gripe about that then you
slink back into your hole never to help anyone and just sit on your perch
waiting to strike again like a snake in the grass.

So you're admitting you have been doing something wrong, then? 8)

Arno helps, but he doesn't need to create imaginary persona to ask
questions. And neither do you - you've helped me in the past as well. 8)

This is most defeintely a public newsgroup and no-one appeared to claim
to be God. This is public newsgroup for people to discuss and SHARE
public information. Not to spot people in need of help and say "i know,
you don't so come and give me money to help you."

This info is publicly available so why pretend that you know more or
better than others here?

Thanks to those (Jeff etc...) who get this principle, this board will
continue and grow and be a resource for those in search of information
not in search of those who know but don't want to share.

Love to you all...

NO! The keywords are "...someone does something wrong IN YOUR EYES ..."

and as for Arno, once or twice responding to a post and giving very little
that might qualify for help, certainly dosen't make him a major player in
the newsgroup like you and me. He is nothing but a snake hiding in the
woodwork waiting to strike at any time. In my opinion, he is much worse than
Troll Don!

You are just like Arno; another snake in the grass waiting to strike! You
don't have a clue about what you speak. You only speak from ignorance. What
is your name?

And by the way, I am a major contributor to three newsgroups!

Hi all, As a general question: Is it possible to create custom file formats? I do not mean changing the attribute of a known file. For ex: A text file transformed into a .xyz will still be readable... So What I mean is a file format which will be readed by only one type application, lets call it YaFR (Yet another File reader). Thank you for your help!

Shareware & trialware needs to come in a small package so that customers on dialup can access these products as well. In practice, limiting maximum download size is highly desirable with the client base quartering every time the download size is doubled. Where package size is too big, it becomes more expensive to pay for trial download bandwidth than what you recover in sales. For example, typical conversions in the region of 1% see 2Gb...

I am a student taking a machine structures class in a university, which includes learning C. I am looking for a good freeware or shareware compiler which can be used in a "C only" mode. C++ isn't allowed in assignments, and I would like the compiler to check for C syntax instead of C++ syntax. Besides that, ease of use for a beginner and basic debugging capabilities are important. Suggestions are welcome.

My Shareware program (or rather Commerical Program with a time limited demo) used to have sales of around $2,000 per month around 2002, but then I got busy at work and didn't have time to maintain it, so sales dwindled off to about $200 a month or less.
