How critical is it that this application work completely offline? I suggest that you seriously consider making your application crippleware unless it can "call home" -- that is, certain key bits work only with online access even if the majority of the app is local. This may or may not include the secure database, but if the data is local, it can still get hacked. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Weinberg's Second Law: If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
