Do "lsecure" and "msecure" mean anything to you?

Hi,

I had an Access / Excel test as part of a job interview last week.

There was one question that really threw me - I can't remember the exact wording, but it was asking you to use "IIf" to create another column in a query which "combined the Lsecure and Msecure" parts of another field in the table into another variable called "secure".

the field itself had about 10 possible values, neither of which was anything close to "Lsecure" or "Msecure", and google doesn't show any results for either serch fields (although msecure is an iphone app to store passwords)

any ideas what it might have beem referring to?

Thanks

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
My initial thought is that maybe they were fields in the table of the database. But the wording of:
"Lsecure and Msecure" parts of another field
makes me question that. I wonder if it is business-specific nomenclature. It is not anything I have ever come across in my years of programming in Excel and Access.
