Hello Damien, I use the "encrypt specific fields" method of encrypting data in sqlite. For you to use that with Basic you'd probably have to find or write a wrapper DLL which handled the field encryption. So your basic would only see unencrypted data after it sent a password to the DLL.
I know this probably makes it a non-starter for you.
