this issue of security is very minor in this script. Iam well aware of the risks of storing passwords in formdata or cookies, But all the authinication tables in sql (oracle) are controled from a linked access database that is for all intent world readable+writeable, So I just do what my boss tells me and try and have fun with my code along the way :)
update
plus the network is all internal
the ppl using it dont have access to the "int0rnet soopa hIway" :)
