I understand your concern. The reason I haven't done what you suggested is becuase I can't very easily just create something that will run on everyones servers. First, you would need a database manager set up on your server, it would need to be the same one I use, and it would have to be set up just like mine. Then there is the matter of helping everyone set up their servers to run my ASP.NET code. It is much more difficult to help people set up a server than to help people run a client on their home machine. You are right, it is something I could do but that is something that would take way too much time and would take away from me improving the whole system. Since I don't get paid to work on the app, nor have I planned on charging for it I can't work on it full time.
Right now I am the only one that has access to your data and I have never looked at anyones data without permission.
Thanks for the suggestion, hopefully some day I"ll do something like that.
