OR...I found a useful, hidden function in the guts of the cfadmin itself. The encrypt function returns JUST an alphanumeric string, instead of with punctuation and other chars.
<cfset string = "coldfusion rules"> <cfset seed = "four score and seven years ago"> <cfset encrypt = CFusion_Encrypt(string,seed)> <cfset decrypt = CFusion_Decrypt(encrypt,seed)> <cfoutput> encrypt: #encrypt#<br> decrypt: #decrypt#<br> </cfoutput> <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

The pre CF7 encrypt() function does not create dbsafe strings. You have to toake it a further step for that: Wrap the string in toBase64() before you store the data. IIRC (its been awhile) you use tostring() when decrypting. I think the new algorithm options in cfencrypt()/cfdecrypt() could be enough features to upgrade right then and there. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com <http://mysecretbase.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
