texte = I like this idea, but the one problem I see is.. encryption. Over the past few weeks I have been coding here and there building a database import system that will allow a user to upload and import a database into any existing database in a designated folder. This would definately be my entry, but since I have spent so much time working on it, there is no way I would put it up unencrypted since it could have potential resale value.This rule may hurt creativeness as I am sure may of us have written some pretty talented code.Maybe users could just upload their name and email which would remain private until a winner is found, then put a link to their script which is on their own server. This way no one has to worry about having users upload potentially harmful code to their server.Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: Alain Russell
