It is just that your approach is - no offense - terribly wrong.

Hey that is really nice, given that you know nothing of how our app works.

You have not provided much information about it. Or have I missed something?

Meaning no offense, I think this is the crux of the problem. The OP has not posted enough information to give the best response, which is why everybody's asking so many questions. There's no need to be argumentative about it (the OP, not Klaus), but given the information provided so far, the approach is *most definitely* wrong for a number of reasons that have been well-illustrated. It's not an attack if someone tells you so (unless of course it's followed by a "you idiot" or something equally insulting).


If you (the OP) disagree with the advice, that's fine, but if you're going to ask professionals for help, be prepared to hear "that's not the right way to go about it". Whether you take that advice is, of course, up to you.

I suggest going with the route I and several others have mentioned - encrypt the contents of the data file, requiring a password to open it. Also note *well* the plain truth that there is *no* solution to users leaving this sensitive data unlocked and unattended - that has to be addressed with the users in question as a matter of policy and training.
