in reply to shareware ideas??

This is addressed to both yourself and the other Anonymous Monk who seems to think we are being unfair:

You are asking for us to give you FREE advice on how to help you make money. I recommend that you pay a consultant to help you. I'm sure that you will make the money back right away from the sale of your software.

While we often give out advice that indirectly helps people make money (say by helping them do their job), we tend to see this as helping the community. If you could present your problem in a more community friendly way we might jump to help you.

    It is very interesting to see how the attitude of this forum contrasts with others like this VBA group where questions about encrypting Excel applications are sympathetically answered, no matter how many times they are asked.

    (I did some perlmonks-style advocacy/trolling in reply to one of these questions, suggesting exactly that the source should be free, but sell the support/upgrade/services instead... but this is definitely not the usual answer at that sort of forum. I imagine that the Anonymonk that asked this question was very surprised to get jepri's answer!)

    Cheerio!
