The best thing to do for that is to set the security for that application on
your server if you are running NT or 2000, etc. If you are the administrator
and can set security up on your server, if you have it on a shared drive,
right click it, go to security, make yourself the owner if your not, add
yourself and give yourself full rights, remove everyone else. This is if you
log on to your computers.
