OK, thank you for you opinion. By the way, what can I do more for my
mde if I want to commercialize my mde?
Frankly Access is not a good platform for commercial apps. By that I am
talking about shrink-wrapped programs that someone buys at a store or
downloads and then installs. If you want a wide target group you have to
use an older version, the runtime is not for the squeamish and often breaks
things on the user's PC, and it has a relatively large resource footprint
for what it does. Just about all of the commercial products I am aware of
that lasted more than a couple of years are utilities and add-ins that
people sell to other Access developers.
Where there is a market is producing solutions for businesses on an
individual contract basis (almost always a customized app) where you can
rely on a reasonably consistent PC setup onto which your product will be
installed. In those cases protecting your program from unauthorized use is
largely a matter of trust as it is for most other software.
