My bad... I did mean compression but wrote encryption.. Thanks for the correction..
So if you have a foreign table that contains a blob field that stores attachment, can you use a AR Vendor form to retrieve that attachment which has been compressed using a non Remedy compression method? How would you know what compression method has been used to store it?

Hi, You just implement the ARDBCGetEntryBLOB-call in your ARDBC-plugin. I actually did just that doing a general purpose Documentum-integration for accessing your documents through the ARUser-interface. The data is not encrypted, but rather compressed. This is done between the client and server, but is allays handled uncompressed when sent to an API-program such as an ARDBC-plugin.
