Welcome to the wonderful world of client-server security. You can't, and even if you use a "secure(r)" ODBC driver that does some sort of signature check, you can't stop someone from downloading the Client SDK and bypassing your security anyway. But, hey, at least their screens look nice. I'm sure your managers can take solace in that, when they lose data. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
