Yeah, the robots.txt file is all you really need to disallow the page. None of the major engines are looking to catalog things you don't want indexed.

If it's something really sensitive, you may want to look at ASP.NET 2.0. There are some fairly basic ways of setting up a login system to password protect sensitive files like that. Check out www.asp.net for video tutorials on it if you're interested.
