[Gambas-user] A dude about Gambas

[juan]

Hello
Just a question about your problem.
I'm not sure but Is it not better to create a table with user and password in 
sql and later from gambas check that table and in base to that you can 
control the access level also?.
It's just a suggestion, but it is not a good idea to hard code a password, if 
a somebody gess it or discover it from a teacher you will have to change  it 
on you code and it is not a good idea.

Regards
Juan
