Encripted DBF file with autosaved password
Posted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 07:27 AM

Hello,

I wonder if there is any way to create an encrypted DBF, and that the key to access the file can be saved in the file itself. That is, to access the DBF are prompted for a password and that password is stored in the DBF own which in turn is encrypted.

I am now using encrypted DBF, but the password is not stored in the DBF itself but in an external file, which should bring the DBF from one computer to another there is no way of knowing if the password is correct or false.

Regards,
José Luis

I use encripted DBF but password is declared in the source code.
Don't you think that is enough?

Jose Luis,

No hace falta reinventar la rueda. ADS tiene su crifrado de 160 bits y te puedo asegurar q es la mejora manera de tener tus dbfs protegidos.

Salutacions, saludos, regards
