Hasn't this topic taken a tangent completely unrelated to Cocoa. There is nothing here that can be solved at the language level, wether in Cocoa, or any other language.

This is purely a security issue that every developer must address when creating any type of secure system. Wether that application be web based, desktop based, client-server database or web services oriented.

Hi,
I need to turn off the ability to allow users to double click on a file and have them open it up. There are security reasons for this, as we do not want to allow students to open up the file and change grades or attendance. So we have to go through our login procedure that allows the teachers or administrators to open the file. But I can not see anyway to turn this off. I know in Carbon this is done through Apple Events, and ma sure that it is done the same way with Cocoa. I have looked on Apples site and searched this list, but have not be able to find the answer to this.


Thanks in advance for any help.
