Hi, Jorge, You've asked some interesting questions.

1) A client of mine has disabled the control panel for all users except Admin level. It was done on both Win95 and NT4 Workstation systems.

2) They also removed the MSDos link for all users.

3) Because of the way NT and Novell work users will always have some access. For total security you'll have to move to SQL-Server or other client-server.

I thought of giving the folder in which the app is, a share name like NOONEWILLTHINKOFTHIS$, so it's invisible unless you now the share name, and have my app now this name and access it's data thtough it, what do you all think?, TIA
