You've raised some interesting questions. It would only be business cards that would be read and anyone can get that information if they really want to, right? And if he was only accessing one at a time, it wouldn't be too much information leaking. What does everyone else think about this?

At first, I was thinking about having this just be an intranet thing for him and his 2 office employees. I think it would be ^n times better if it were over the net though and since I'm programming it with sockets anyway...

I am biased towards using Java right now, though that could chance. Can you use JDBC for this kind of thing and can you open databases as read only? I wouldn't want to ruin the database by making rookie mistakes.

Thanks for the replies, got me thinking.

Oh ya, I was thinking about incorporating the mouse scrolling feature to move throughout the rolodex (for show factor). This made me think someone should have a password system like a safe that uses the mouse scroller.
