The link Duoas posted is the same as a reference I have used to the November 2004 issues. It was an issue about security...according to the comments in my code.
I glanced at that issue (Nov 2004) and it did seem to fit the general idea of what was discussed in that article regarding Windows credential/user input verification.
I appreciate the info, Grey Wolf. I have a rather large chunk of reading to do, the MSDN magazines.
