FiveTech Support Forums

Hi guys,

If I want to modify existing source code to enable encryption of data in dbf's what's the quickest (ok, ok and also free ; if possible ) route that I could take?

What options do I have for having the feature in a 16 bit programs? In 32 bit programs?

TIA for sharing your experience and expertise

Hua,

You may use FWH Encrypt() and Decrypt() functions, to encrypt each field content before saving it, then use Decrypt() to read the encrypted field data.

FiveWin's Encrypt and Decrypt functions are fine if you are only going to encrypt character fields (they don't support encrypting of date, numeric, or logical fields).

If you want a good encrypting free tool take a look to the Advantage Local Server functions ADSEnableEncrypt()

I'm aware of these functions. I was just hoping there maybe something along the line of use <cDbf> encrypt "password". That would cut down a lot of work as I'm working with an existing source. Thaks for the reply anyway. BTW, thanks also for reactivating my forum account Antonio.
