Just looking for some advice on using cryptor. I will use a simplifed example,

If I have a single table that I want to encrypt that can be in multiple subdirectories how do I go about this? I am a bit confused about the pathing to the file to used when encoding and registering the table through cryptor.

Lets say I have a datbase structure like:
ROOT
- DATA1
- DATA2

Where each data folder has a copy of TABLE1 which I want to encrypt. Obviously I need to initially encode each file separately i.e.

CRYPT_ENCODE("DATA1\TABLE1", "password")
CRYPT_ENCODE("DATA2\TABLE1", "password")

The first question is does the path specified above need to be an absolute path, can it be relative, relative to the EXE etc?

Second question is regarding the registration, will:

CRYPT_REGISTER("TABLE1", "password") be sufficient for both files, or does each file need to be registered separately and do they require the exact same path as the ENCODE operation?

Thoughts?
