Paul, I couldn't sleep much last night after all this talk of security. We have 7 files: R1,R2,R3,R4,Exe,Shortcut,Procedures. A quick look at different sites gave me the impression that the 2 main security areas are user password and encryption. I need to develope something like Marc's password method. Right now, the R1-4 are not encrypted, the .exe is encrypted, shortcut and procedures don't need anything. Thank you, Boyd
