ROTFLMAO!  I did something like that once too.

Heh. Here's a story for a Friday... not entirely off topic...

I once put a function into a backend .mdb that checked the logon name of
the 
user, and if it wasn't me it put up a bright red screen with yellow
letters 
that said something like, "Unauthorized Intrusion Detected. You have
attempted 
to open a database for which you are not authorized. We know who you are
and 
where you are sitting. Please remain calm and in your seat, security
will be 
coming for you shortly."

It was a slow day and I was bored (kind of like right now, actually!)
and 
didn't expect anything to ever come of it, or anyone to ever see it
besides me.

Weeks passed and I forgot about it. Then one day one of the office
busybody 
idiots who thought he knew something about databases came rushing over
to me 
all upset because "they" were coming for him and he didn't know what he
should 
do... my, that was fun, and I had some fun with him for awhile, too,
before 
I "covered his tracks for him". <lol> and for weeks after I would
periodically 
remind him that he owed me a favor too. As far as I know, he never poked
his 
nose into any of my databases again :)
