You could have your encryption routine EncodeBase64 the result, not so that it is harder to read, but such that it is harder to mess up the encoding. What I like about EncodeBase64 is that you can apply it to any string and get a string back that is just letters. You can even copy and paste it into an email, send it to someone, and then they can copy and paste it into your program and it will still work. - Andrew Keller _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
