Re: Sell my database design

SourceForge would be a good place to make it available for free -- several 
Open Source licenses are available.

Selling Access applications online has always been problematical. In the 
past, several "exchanges" have been tried, but none lasted long. One problem 
has been that the security provided by Access over the years is so easy to 
penetrate. It was easy for someone to break security and pass your 
application around to their friends and acquaintances.

I've had a "long run" with Access, from Access 1.0 until now, but all the 
paying work I did was "bespoke systems" for individual customer companies... 
in most cases, the reason they had custom software instead of "canned 
software" was that their way of doing business was unique within their niche 
(and other companies wouldn't have wanted to change their way of doing 
business to conform, if they had marketed it).

Sorry I don't have better news; maybe someone else has a way.  If so, I'd 
like to know it.
