To not answer your question directly, Mike, the GUID function in the VFP2C project allows you to generate a GUID in 3 different formats:
ASCII (default) UNICODE BINARY If you want something human readable use the ASCII option. If you want something completely inscrutable use the binary option. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions, LLC Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 5:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Password Security Follow-up question to this: since it's already something not easily viewed (like an integer key would be), is there any reason to use STRCONV(MyGUID,x) to convert it to something else? I'm guessing STRCONV(MyGUID,15) might be better to view than it's original form. Not sure how many times I'd ever have to eyeball it (not that it would matter since I'm storing it in a variable anyway), so perhaps it's a moot point. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD044218D47C677@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
