Logon Box

Hi,

Im very new to this language but I really want to learn it, i started making a program a litttle to addvance for me, but i want it completed.

I have made a Logon Box where you input your Username and Password, and i want the program then too save the username and password as a text file on the harddrive or floppy disk so i can go back to it later.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Well there are numerous ways to do this. The simplest is just to draw two textboxes, one with the PasswordChar (Mask) set to * and an OK button. When it's clicked you just need to save the results in whatever way, a sequential file would do, but that'd be a security risk as it could be viewed with notepad.
If you could describe what your program does more specifically that'd be helpful.

a db is best. that way average users can't view the password file.

Hey,
Thanks for your input.

Well what it is really, is a fake logon box of my school network, and after they login the program saves there username and password as a text file on the hardrive which i can get too.

why would your school implement something so stupid and full of holes?

or is this a password grabber?
