Have you looked into OpenXML? I use it to generate Excel files, and read them too but it can do more than just Excel. How to: Create a spreadsheet document by providing a file name (Open XML SDK) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Yea thats the right way of doing it. This was more along the lines of something that only needs to be `as-secure-as` your email account. Perhaps the website is a serverless architecture and it uses your email address as your username and for communications, but beyond that it careth not. Like I said, it was an idea but I haven't found a use-case for it just yet.

I always had the idea that the best way to authenticate a user is to rely on their mailbox. 1) User enters email address and clicks the Login button 2) Website sends email to that account with one-time link 3) User clicks one-time link and that authenticates him into the site Thoughts?

lol. Then its probably just a brain fart, or late night coding session :)

Probably code that has been edited and then not refactored. No real wtf here, ey?

I am a developer and this has caught me out. On the clients environment, my code would check to see if the file lock.txt exists, and if so it would lock the user from doing anything. When I deployed my code, I right-clicked int the explorer, and created a new file called lock.txt. The program could not find the file. It took me a while to notice that file extensions were hidden. As soon as I disabled that, I noticed I had created a file called lock.txt.txt. I hate this feature and switch it off on every computer I work on. Pain in the a$$

Can you enlighten those of us who may not be as well-informed as you?

It works (well, the bug works) with any number. I tried sqrt(25) - 5 and sqrt(9) - :^)
