bigzilla Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Does anyone have a good example (preferable a file) showing how you set up a solution to close after a 30 day trial? I have one that I downloaded from Advisor Magazine. Although it brings up the dialog box saying your 30 day trial is over. It still allows you into the solution. So there is something I guess I should know but don't. I thought one of you may have something clearly showing how to make the 30 day trial work and to lock the solution when the 30 days are up.

Hartger Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi, with FM7, make a user account that you log in with automatically (file-options) and a full-access account. Then after 30 days, de-activate the account, leaving the full-acces account availlable for 'paying' customers. Hope it helps, Regards, Hartger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryglos Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Bill, My bet would be that you put the fields in the same table your trying to lock and that will not work. Set up a "System" table and put the three fields "TrialMode, Startdate & Expired" into it. Then set up a new layout in your main file and make sure under "Show Records From" you have the layout pointing to the System table, not your main file. Now, go and change the scripts so the fields point to your new System table. Now that you've done the ol "Swap-a-rooney" take the above three fields out of your main table! You don't want to have things hanging around that you don't need. You may have a step mother for that! Ya know, I bought my step mother a really nice chair for Christmas. But my wife wouldn't let me plug it in! Live Long & Prosper and Remember Who Loves Ya Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to restrict uses of something I have slaved over. Regards, Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
