Can I suggest after seeing this on a site that you add some security to your program. It used to be a very busy board and was very useful as it contained some right up to the minute news. Thanks.

There is loads of security, but unless people follow the instructions in the documentation on securing the database on the server away from hackers there is very little else that can be done. The insecurity is leying in the hands of the server setup and the person who set the forum up and not with the forum software. I don't know why I bother writting documentation if people just don't read it. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

looks to me as though that user was probably using a public Access database... He should've been using a DSN or SQL Server. ------------- Love, Peace and Chicken Grease! |
