Self Destruct Code

if he were, would you really expect him to admit it? g

Steve,

Does anyone have any ideas on how to write self-destruct code?

I need to run a one-time procedure the next time a database opens. If the
procedure is successful, the procedure needs to be deleted and the code
that
initiated the procedure needs to delete itself.

Are you writing some malware that you have to delete the code after it
has run one time?

That's what I had some concerns about...giving you a method to do a "one
time cleanup" of data. I know people that wouldn't mind if some virus
writers were castrated, had their hands cut off, or simply had a bullet
fired into their brains.

Do we have to limit it to just one choice?

We don't know you. Your request is odd and raises red flags.

Steve,

You could probably wire up a relay that was activated by the end of the
code, that set of a lump of C4 or Semtex. That would "self destroy" the
code.

Write it in VBScript and call it from your app using the Shell function. The VBScript can self destruct
upon completion.

Steve,

Thanks, Mike, but I still then have the Shell code remaining.

Is this one of those Al Quida solutions?

That's right!

And Salad is either a close relative of Don Mellon or someone with the brain of
a cabbage patch doll.

Not from what I've seen.
