ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hi All,
I am very new to this but am thinking of using this software to take my MS Access database to the next level. My question is this; I have written a maintenance database for the fire service in MS Access and need to find a way to make this work on every computer since it is written in Access 2000. It seems as though this program will work. Here are a few questions;

  1. I would like to offer this on a yearly subscription timeframe, can I make this possible with ASPRunnerPro? Example; A customer does not re-new their subscription, is it possible to timeout their access at the end of the year?
  2. How is it possible to only grant them access for a trial period of say 30 days?
  3. How is it possible to update the software without taking away from information that is already viewable?
  4. I was thinking of making this networked so that my customers can use multiple computer workstations and then view all there information on one main PC, is this possible or can some other way work out?
  5. I have over 100 tables in my program, is their a limit to how much information can be converted?
  6. Is their a way to assign separate user logins to each customer? This would be a way to handle the yearly subscriptions and also, when they purchase the full rights, I would need a way to enable the customer to use the entire program without limits.
  7. I am also developing PDA software to run with the desktop version. Can the PDA software be merged in with version that they will have on their desktop?
  8. How do I test my results when I do not have a local server or know a remote server connection? I do have two websites up and running.
    Sorry for all the questions. I am a newbie in this. It took me one year to write my program in Access for I learned the program as I went along. I do not have any programming experience but this software seems to fit the bill for people like me.
    Please feel free to email me osh599@yahoo.com if any of you can help.
    Thank you,

Jim,
please see my answers below:

1, 2, 6: There is a Security Tab in ASPRunner and so you can set permissions for each customer or for the group of the customers. For example, you can grant permissions for the group of subscribed users which purchase full rights. For setting yearly or monthly subscription timeframe you can add some custom code using Events feature.

3. Yes, it's possible. You should uncheck Use Server.MapPath on Database file Tab.

4,7. ASPRunner creates browser based application, so we will work on any workstation or PDA with browser and Internet or intranet access.

5. There is no limit of quantity of tables.

8. To set the results you need a web server. You can copy generated ASP pages on the one of your websites and test your application.
