1) When creating my tables what do I use for datatypes
2) What about indexing Do I index on Decypt(field1).
3) What about SQL Do I do Select Decypt(field1), Decypt(field2)…
4) What about select * .
Is it supposed to be this big of a pain or am I just going off in wrong direction
Thanks,
Sammy

The better way is to get Cryptor from Xitech that does it for you automatically behind the scenes.

It means that you can only encrypt\decrypt your data 100 times, and then you have to buy new licenses…

I was afraid that this was what it meant....... So I wanted semantic clarity. Some websites are really weird. People selling their wares do not bother making their purpose clear in this business. When you walk into a shoe store you know that you won't find a bunch of hats in there. What does "runtime" have to do with a machine Another example: software called Kryptos. No explanation as to what it does whatsoever. I thought it was out of cryptology but does not seem to be the case inferring from GUI they show.

I personally had such ideas fleetingly long time ago and abandoned them as impractical. You will be losing a lot of time in terms of execution and extra coding. Also if you are starting from scratch you will need a lot of visual control for a while. You will have to open some of your tables in a browser to see if the right data is there, if a field has been changed correctly.
What I do now is to encode ids and passwords only in a couple of tables. They are rather short. I may also encode some of the memo fields selectively, perhaps.
In old dBase IV there was an option to have all tables encoded if you turned a switch on. I doubt anybody ever used it.

I also will have a global variable specifying witch data path to use, that same variable will be used in my encrypt \ decrypt functions. Is if I am using non-encrypted data the encrypt \ decrypt will just return what ever is passed in.
I just feel that basic things like binding a textbox to a data field become a big pain.
I’m sure there is a better way of doing this.
Thanks

I think it means that if you are distribution your software, packaged with there tool, you can distribute it 100 times. Or buy more licenses.
