The "dummy" password solution seems to work just fine. However, I am a contract programmer, so I've only have to show that I have taken sufficient steps to put security in place. As far as password recovery tools go, I would advise that you use a strong password that doesn't appear in the dictionary. I never had to decrypt the MS-Access database. However, Microsoft provides a program named "JetComp.exe" on their support web-site. Normally I use it to fix MS-Access databases that have got seriously corrupted. If anything could decrypt your database it would be that program. I don't have any real preferences for databases. I've used quite a few different ones (I tend to use what my clients ask for). My personal preference is not to use MS-Access (network performance sucks and it is fairly easy to corrupt the database files). You might want to consider Sybase's ASA database (used to be called SQL-Anywhere). Hope this helps. Andy

It is true that MFC7 vs WTL is a totally different question that MFC4.2 vs WTL. For the longest time, WTL was the only method of getting all the new fancy UI without hacking up MFC. But that isn't the case anymore. One big difference between MFC and WTL is that WTL doesn't try to force a design framework on the programmer. WTL doesn't have this document concept already built in. If you want documents, that is a negative. If you don't want documents, it is a HUGE plus. Also, WTL provides a much simplified internal message system. This has good points and bad. Personally, I found MFC's message system to be overly complex in an attempt to be idiot proof. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.
