>> Piece of cake.
Yes it is, probably sounds more complicated than it actually is.   Probably
a day's work for the lot.

I would love to take up your offer, but it is a long drive from England!  My
son is currently in Orangevale, CA.  Is that anywhere near you?
Would be great to see him and drop in on you.

Ps. You don't have to answer the email calls 24/7, just during office hours.
Pps. 
1. Abyss is such a doddle to set up. Complete with firewall etc
2. Domain set up is done by ISP, just connect to it.  They will give you the
parameters.  Just leave you PC online 24/7 if you offer web pages, otherwise
scratch Abyss.  You can collect any error emails via a mailbox on the ISP.
3. Access you already know.

Do it Rocky - be the first kid on the block to offer this service!

Piece of cake.  Next time you're in the neighborhood, stop by, and hook that
up for me, will you?   Weather's great, accommodations reasonable (ask
Martin). 

Actually, it sounds like a good idea.  But more responsibility (24/7) than I
think I want.  I'm a lone ranger, here.

Well Rocky,
As an alternative why not buy a client-domain and host it with a low-cost
ISP (minimum costs these days)* then give your clients the ability to send
emails from within your Access package (using CDO - no email client
required). You can then build in all the paramaters into your package with
zero installation overheads (you control all the values necessary).  You
could sell this to them as "Added-Value" with/without an price.  The
activation key could be part of the Licence Code.  When turned on, they can
use it, otherwise not (nice little popup inviting them to upgrade)

You could also have client-specific web pages for each client.  Get them to
sign up to a no-spam clause and drop them from the "approved list" if they
break this.  Enhancement could be a unique selling point!

* or host the domain with your own PC if it has permanent internet
connection.  Traffic would be low and easily within the capabilities of a
standard PC.  I use Abyss (v1 is free, v2 is lowcost).
Ps. You can also automat the sending of error driven emails direct to your
computers from theirs.  Imagine their surprise when you call them the next
day and say "I see you had a problem, here is the solution".

I like it.  I wouldn't distribute it to a lot of users, however.  In my
manufacturing system the installation is dead simple.  First instruction
-Create a folder C:\E-Z-MRP.  50% of the users were stumped.  That's when I
switched to Wise/Sagekey.

But for one-off installations it looks like a better approach.
