Hmm, so we now have a userID & password embedded in plain text in a
Basic program.
And we can't change the password without changing the source code
recompiling the program.
If this is the only way of doing this, I strongly recommend using
ENCRYPT() and storing the encrypted password on disk somewhere.
This has two advantages:
+ The plain-text password only exists briefly in memory,
not permanently on disk
+ You can change the encrypted password on disk with a utility
program and avoid recompiling
