Perhaps you've posted this to the wrong group but using Excel for this isn't
really going to work. To do this you really need a standalone exe. It's
possible (through the API) to do what you're asking in the Excel environment
but it means loading Excel then loading a worksheet to execute the code.
Shut down Excel and you disable this feature.

I'd repost this to one of the vb groups. I've done some similar stuff like
this in the past but it was all with VB and a quick google search of these
groups will produce a ton of useful code.

I want to create a login screen that controls access to a
Win 98 machine. This windows form should not allow the
user to access the machine unless he enters one of the
correct passwords. Also the application should not be seen
in the system tray (after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del).
Can anyone suggests how i can implement this functionality
in my application ????
