There are many ways to do that. You could, for example store the
password as a collection of constant Byte values and put them together
as chars when using the password. I use something similar, but not
quite that. You could convolute it many ways.

Hi
Yeah my app is actually just encrypt some text and store it in its
DB. It will Decrypt the information for processing purposes. The
DCPcrypt stuff looks great. However now im left with what to use as
a password and how to store that in my app.

No problems.
Is your app going to be doing both the encrypting and decrypting at
either end?
Because if it's not (and the recipient of the encrypted data is using
some other standard PKI tool to decrypt the data), then you are
going to
have to look at certificates and how your app manages them.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Conor

Thanks Conor
I am looking at building it into a shipping app so this seems like a
bit
of a no go. But thanks for the info :)

Yes, MS does provide a crypto API on most Windows platforms,
exposed as a COM DLL (known as CAPICOM). It's based around
Certificate Services, which you can configure using MMC (Microsoft
Management
Console?).
To configure Certificate Services, run MMC from the command line,
choose File, Add/Remove Snap-in, hit the Add button, choose
Certificates, click OK.
But you'll then have to go away and read up on certificates, and
how to use the Crypto API, etc. Googling should get you a long way
there.
