If they know this information then they could just as easily log into their local PC using it as well as your site so the chance of abuse is the same.

Hi Larry,

That's an excellent idea. I remember the thread you're citing. I'll have to look it up and try this.

It's funny, I know I've posted a lot of relatively dumb questions on these issues, :-) but I have learned so much from all of the study and research I've had to do. I may wind up, in this case, not even using the C++ DLL I created but it was fun learning how to do it and a great learning experience for the future.
