I know you guys are right. I'm just throwing ideas out there. I have kept
the database local so far - and will continue to do so until I find a good
encryption system. But unfortunately, if the administrator can't be
trusted, then there's no such thing as security. And having an in-house
server is a huge cost that will take a lot of convincing to the hospital.

It's a good thing I took over the project when I did. The previous dude (U
of T grad, heh) coded it in visual basic and used DES with the
initialization vector and key stored in the program itself. With source
code. If there was a face-palm emoticon, now is the time to use it.
