What's your definition of "hiding" the password?

If you're worried about someone opening the .EXE in an editor and seeing the literal string, do something like assigning it to a variable in parts:

strPassword = "my"
strPassword = strPassword & "Pass"
strPassword = strPassword & "word"

rather than

strPassword = "myPassword"
