Phil, Just looking at those now. Kenny Kerr has some sample code that is interesting - but am not sure if I can actually use it.

Just a thought: Would the Credential APIs work for you? CredRead, CredProtect, CredWrite etc? Phil Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

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
