Limiting "Demo" file to 25 records

I'm sending a company a demo of a FMP5 database in Developer 5 format. I want to limit them to only inputting 25 records for this demo version. Any suggestions on how to put this limit into the file I'm sending to them? Thanks

Make sure you set up passwords, and do not allow users to add records. Via a button and a script you create the records. You can setup a script that test the current records or some other way of counting records, and if it reaches your max, the user gets a notice that the demo expired.

Other forms are date driven, will expire on a certain date. Caviat is that they can change the clock on the computer.

Or create a limited use like a 25 usee where it bombs after it is opened 25 times.

The sky is the limit.

Hope this helps.
