As part of an automation system I've written, I'd like to be able to specify the account that certain jobs are executed under - but to do so, I presume I would need to store the username and password in the database - something I'm not overly keen on even if the passwords are encrypted. Given the flexible nature of the system, there's not a lot of other choices left to me. Or is there some other token I can store that I can use? Dino
