    Question Security problem

    Here's my problem :

    I made a program with links and operation to excel files. The user can access all these files by the program. But, I don't want them to access these in any other way (example : windows explorer, etc). For now, I can't set reduced permission to some persons because some files might be updated frequently by a user. I just don't want anyone to be able to delete a file manualy.

    I'm using win NT 4.0

    If someone have an idea... I'm a newbie in network developement....

    You'll want use NTFS permissions to prevent Deleting (you can give read, write, and deny delete). You can password protect the excel files, but I don't think that'll work for you.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
