    <p>You should <strong><em>never</em></strong> put a password into an executable. </p> <p>This is like putting the password on a sticky note next to the monitor. If a malicious hacker has your application they can eventually extract the password regardless of what language or API you use to write it. </p> <p>For example, if I know that your application connects to a password protected server but the application never ask for a password, then I know you've made the mistake of including the password. To find the password, I need only monitor the operation of the program to see what areas of code are active around the time it connects to the server. This will tell me where to focus the search for the password regardless of how big your application is. Then it is only a matter of time until I track the password down. Encrypting the password does no good because the encryption algorithm must also be in the app and I can unravel that as well. </p> <p>Remember that there are many people out there who can unravel your code using only the raw machine code. For those people it doesn't matter what language or API you use because they all distill to machine code in the end. Those people are the scary skilled gods of programming and they laugh at mere mortals such as you or I. Unfortunately, some of them are evil. </p> <p>Did I mention that you should <strong><em>never</em></strong> put a password into an executable? If I didn't, let me repeat that you should <strong><em>never</em></strong> put a password into an executable. </p> <p>In your particular case, as novice programmer, you have no hope of hiding of the password from someone with even a little bit more experience than yourself. This is yet another good reason why you should <strong><em>never</em></strong> put a password into an executable.</p>

    1. COThanks for the reply. The only reason theres a password in it is its just for a few friends and won't be distributed.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
