Create a Registration Code

[Simon]

I have a database that I am shipping out to a customer on
CD. My problem is that they could quite easily copy the CD
and pass a copy to others to use. I would like to set up a
registration key (That could be different each time it is
instaled) so they would have to phone me for the code for
the system to work. Any ideas how I could go about this?

Hi,

I have not used this, but see if this link to Paul Overway's site helps:

Go to the Add-ins/Extras area and download the file "Logico Solutions MDB
Lock."

Good luck,
