Hi Al,

Thanks for your reply. I can certainly understand why a question like mine would raise eyebrows and perhaps cause
little red flags to go up. If I explain my circumstances maybe somebody will realize that I am not out to do something
illegal and will give me some guidance.

I am a programmer whose responsibility is to support some purchased software. One of my responsibilities is to
do administrative duties such as set up security: set up users and give them the necessary rights. This security file
is the encrypted file I refered to earlier. It would make my life so much easier if I could write a report showing what
users have what rights, belong in what groups, what groups have what rights, etc. What I do now is maintain an Excel
worksheet outside of the system but this is very cumbersome and gets out of date very easily. I am the one who
sets up the security so I am not trying to get any information that I don't already know. And nobody would have
access to this program except me and my backup. I have asked the tech-support of this company tell me how to
open up the file but they won't (perhaps I need to try going higher).

If there is somebody who would please help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rena
