Hi Shannon:
This is the reason I am inquiring about this before I reply to this 
requres. I do not want to compromise the security of the data and I 
think this is as far as I can go saving CC info. It is already bad 
enough to know that the data is as secure as the passphrase but I guess 
that is not my problem, is it? I should probably look further into the 
limits of the liability.

What's a good place written in the cookbook fashion to chack on that?


thanks,

Alvaro Zuniga
