Thanks all for your help so far. Now I have been looking at the documentation for encrypt/decrypt and I would like to use one of the more secure encryption algorithms, such as BLOWFISH or DES. I notice that the more secure algorithms use the function GenerateSecretKey. Now do this mean that when the text is encrypted it is a one way process? I assume that the GenerateSecretKey function will always return a different key so does this mean that I cannot then decrypt my data when I retrieve it from the database? I am getting somewhat confused here. :-(
