Dick, I would think that you could use the encryption that is built into Windows 7. As I understand it, I don't use it, the files are encrypted when they are written and reversed as read. If that's truly so, it might take a few seconds longer to read and write but the data on the files will be okay. It should not be affected by, or affect your DB files and R:Base. Again, as I understands it you create an encryption "base code" that is unique to you. As I said, I haven't used it as I trust my wife who is basically the only one that sees my DBs, but I know it does exist within Win 7. Jay

Because we routinely do business with the same customers, we save the credit card data. Our server does have an always on internet connection, properly firewalled. None of our data is accessable from the internet. We currently use a routine that changes the sequence of numbers around, and makes one string from them. When we need the data, it reverses that strategy. It is a home-made solution, but certainly better than nothing. Problem is I guess, if you knew what forms to look for in the database, you would find both ends of the routine. I suppose we need something better. Suggestions? Dick Fey Carpet Broker Inc.
