[AccessD] Get Computer Name

UDP = User Defined Properties.


But if  you DIDN'T want it to be moved (ie, stolen) you can check that the
values in the Registry (as set by you on installation) are still the same as
those in the UDP on the BE (as set by you on installation).

If somebody picks the BE up and moves it to another PC with a different set
of matching registry/UDP keys, then you can trap this and take whatever
action you deem fit.

On the FE too, of course.  No limit to what you can put into the Registry on
the UDP on the FE/BE for all sorts of purposes.

Exactly - and if it is in the  BE and you have automatic relinking code, you
can pick the 
application up and move it to another machine with no problems.

I have never come across a situation where a registry entry is preferable to
storing data 
locally with the application - The same goes for using the AppData  path -
it just makes it 
harder to backup or move an application.
