Hi;



I'd like to purchase another copy of DDT for a new machine I got to build some SQL tables and etc. and I don't want to install the full SF on this machine (VS2008 beta 2) and I also don't want to constantly turn off DDT from one machine and turn it on, on another machine.



So the best solution would be to buy an standalone copy of DDT and install it with VS2008. Any plans for standalone installation, before the price goes up?



Thanks!

FWIW I would think DDT as a standalone would be a very viable product for VFP developers working with SQL Server back end. 

Don't know how technically awkward it would be for you to make a standalone version available, but I think it would greatly expand the potential market  ( F1 Technologies would be happy to market it to VFP developers )

Thanks for all of your input.  We always want to meet the market where there is a need.  We will definitely take this into serious consideration.

Dear Trent; How are you?



I posted that question for several reasons and I'll share another one with you. I think DDT is under utilized by none SF applications and I think there is a great market for those who already have other applications running but they need to maintain their database and be able to send it to client or server and so on. I was talking to a friend yesterday who has an application written but he needs to send updates to remote users and it's a real pain. I told him about DDT.



I think DDT needs to work as two parts for these people, the front end part where developer makes changes and another exe that he sends to clients to deploy his package. The front end should be controlled by license and the deployment should be free. The deployment should allow the user to enter the package name or could be setup as one setup that the package is embedded into the exe and ready to be run.



This will also opens the door for these people to become exposed to SF. Just my two cents...
