John,
Point taken, but corporations such as ours do not allow password storage in clear text.
Auditors will be happier to see the 'key' stored in clear text...
I knew it will be along shot, but thanks for the reply anyway!

It would be of little use to encrypt this in a method that can be
decrypted as you'd still need the key stored in the clear to do
the decryption!
