Hi John Unless you can use two passwords one for Run and the other for Edit that should solve all the problems

Run Only option but you can not open or view the file, but you would still require the password to Run the file or maybe Run without a password and only use the password to edit or view the file? Maybe someone else has a better idea on this?

Marc, The OUTPUT command has the ability to add a 512-bit encryption key to a file for security purposes. After using the ENCRYPT parameter in your OUTPUT command, a prompt is display to enter a password. The password must be specified in order to run or edit the file. Perhaps you would like suggest an enhancement where a "run only" 512-bit encryption key would be used for a file? Best regards, John Minyo II R:BASE Technologies, Inc.
