I'm not sure, but when I write to a file that already exists, it simply

I did have to modify this as it was deleting the UPC.ini file, when I tried

Joe,
if uName.text = UserName and uPassword.text = userPassword then
You're comparing the MD5 of the previously entered password, to the
password entered by the user. Of course these will never be equal.
Ok then, how am I to get the password checked against the one saved to the

Since you said you are writing something for patients you might
want to
either market it as something else (personal diary) or check the HIPPA
