So here we have no disagreement at all. It's when you add in the security claims that I believe, IMHO, that you are walking into a minefield. I have no problem with providing a way to build "Customer/Member Relationship Management" tools ... and this is where my focus is. > ===================== > > The point is not to develop a foolproof personal directory > scheme for encrypting files against copying.

Hmmm ... here you lost me. What clowns? Who are the "clowns" that you are referring to? I'm sorry if you are frustrated, but you and I were having a conversation about Personal Directory and security of data. If you are suggesting that I am a "clown" then the proper grammer would have been "you clown" ... if you really meant more people, then I'm curious who you are referring to? ;-) ... just clowning around ... ;-) Scott C.
