Steve, perhaps yesterday's thread on "indexes and hashing" might be of help. It seems that you could :
IHASH(.vCreditCardString,SLEN(.vCreditCardString)) The result is a 32-bit (I think) INTEGER. I don't think it would be easy to "reverse" the hash algorithm, unless you'd seen the RBTI source code. Although this might not be the ultimate long-term solution, it might work in the near(-er) term. I'm sure that, based on his feedback to me, BillD could add further and more insightful comment. :-o Later, Steve in Memphis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fogelson, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "R:Base User Group (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 8:20 AM Subject: Encryption > Does R:Base have any encryption features to encrypt and decrypt particular > fields in a table.
