THAT was an excellent session at Southwest Fox this year. One of my all-time favorites. ;)

Would that also apply to SCX files too? > long version: http://foxpert.com/docs/security.en.htm *TL;DR:* SCX files are a bit more difficult, but not by much. The approach is the same. SCX and VCX are opened in the system data session when you execute them. Code injection allows you to copy those files out of the running application. Code in the OBJCODE is never encrypted. Clearly visible when you look at the help file for the COMPILE command and the ENCRYPT option. The report designer is always the easiest. If you let the user modify reports try this in your EXE: Open the report designer, right click to open the data environment, right click to add a file. Pick Other. In the file open dialog enter the name of a VCX or SCX file that is embedded in the EXE. The name must be in quotes. You will see the file being available in the report data environment. -- Christof --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com 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/004c01d24e52$a9d9be30$fd8d3a90$@whitelightcomputing.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
