Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com	Roy, << Would it be possible to display the password on an EDBSession in clear BUT store in the dfm encrypted? >> I'd have to check that out further. In general, it's a bad idea to store passwords, period, in the .exe. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Tim Whilst I agree with you, and do my best to avoid it I just noticed this "feature" of the session component. You could help enforce good practice by moving the password from published to public but you might get lynched at this stage. Roy Lambert

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Tim I now have a good reason for putting logon info into an app - I'm getting very fed up with having to logon each time I go into the IDE and want to do something - like add a filed into the persistent field list for a table. Roy Lambert
