Thanks Daniel,

I am sorry. When I said client, I did not mean an Oracle client. I meant any general client like a COM object or an ADO connection.

The users I have supported in the past have either hardcoded the login credentials in their code or stored them in the registry (speaking of a windows environment). Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks again,
Nathan
