Well, there is that.  <smile>  I mean, after all, I did say it wasn't
perfect.

Bob, 


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

HTH

Mike
