• SQL Server SQL Server Encryption in MSDE 2000

  I developed an app which stored data in SQL 2005, and encrypted some data using EncryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData ), DecryptByPassPhrase( PassPhrase, TheData). One of the implementations of this will have to store the data in SQL 2000, which doesn't support this functionality. Is there a simple data encryption functionality somewhere that I can implement within a stored proc so I can have my app be independent of the back-end data base server , i.e. so I can have two different stored procedures depending on the back end db, and not to have the front end handle the encryption Thanks Phil ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums I dont know whether you have come across this..

  I wrote a vba code sometime ago and i was happy with the way it worked. But i was really surprised to find that the same code doesnt work now.
