Will:
I am not sure if this could be the reason, but the ENCRYPT function requires
a string. Could the reason be that you are trying to encrypt a number? See
what the Studio help says about ENCRYPT:
=====================
Encrypt
Encrypts a string.
Syntax
Encrypt(string, key)
string
String to be encrypted.
key
String specifying the key used to encrypt string.
========================
Maybe you have to execute a ToString function on the number before you pass
it to ENCRYPT.
Hope that helps,

Hi guys,
Got an interesting one here. I am encrypting some details before entering
them in a databse, then decrypting them as the authorised views them.
However, I am getting this error on decryption:
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
decryptednumber = decrypt(encryptednumber, numberkey)
Error near line 25, column 8.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
The value to be decrypted is not valid
This is the code I have in that location. Interestingly, decrtypting the
name doesn't seem to cuase a problem:
<cfset numberkey = "eagles">
<cfset namekey = "selhurst">
<cfset encryptedname = #getdetails.name#>
<cfset encryptednumber = #getdetails.number#>
<cfset decryptednumber = decrypt(encryptednumber, numberkey)>
<cfset decryptedname = decrypt(encryptedname, namekey)>
This is the code on another page that encrypts the values:
<cfset numberkey = "eagles">
<cfset namekey = "selhurst">
<cfset encryptednumber = encrypt(value_number, numberkey)>
<cfset encryptedname = encrypt(value_name, namekey)>
Any ideas on this anyone??
TIA
