The pain I talk about is not the readability, it is knowing what to merge and how to go about it successfully. Fortunately I can merge things from all kinds of binary flatteners because I work with so many teams that have used different ones over the years. The tools I use are for a different

Hi Fernando, I rarely have to merge as we normally have one-developer one-project scenario at WLC. Always a pain in the neck to deal with on the rare occasions it pops up. That said, the newest version of VFP2Text does support "two-way" if you save the files after you merge in Beyond Compare.

My point is, the Stonefield Database Toolkit does this for a few hundred US dollars. Writing your own reindexing utility for each application you support costs money and time and is likely going to add up to more than you pay for SDT, which many already own. Your solution is simple, but it

My first thought is why not buy a thumbdrive with hardware encryption? ($$$, I know) Portable apps has a version of VeraCrypt, but it says it does require Admin rights to run. Portable apps also has a version of GPG, which wouldn't need apps. Finally, what about installing Portable Apps

Another option, as opposed to doing nothing is to hide the files you want to protect. If someone can't see them in a regular DIR etc then they probably won't have the skipps to unhide them. Right click on folder, select properties then hidden. Dave -Original Message- From: ProFox

Thanks very much. I do recall reading some time back that people were having problems when trying to access files encrypted under one Windows OS from a different Windows OS. I do not recall whether that specifically related to Bitlocker or to some Windows encryption API or something else. I
