I can't speak for Dave, but from what I've read on the Allaire forums,
the regular Encrypt/Decrypt function produces inconsistent results.
Obviously not a good thing!
I've just put together an app using the cfusion_encrypt function on a
4.51 machine. Hopefully there's a valid solution around so I don't run
into similar problems.
If there's no official solution, a suggestion for Dave is to setup a
simple 4.5 server on a spare machine and then just export the data to a
temporary table and decrypt the strings. Then encrypt them on your CF5
box and put them back in your tables. You must have a CF trial CD with
4.5 lying around, eh?
