Malcolm -

>1. Are you running the very latest version of VFPEncryption? Make sure you've downloaded the latest version from Craig's site.
I will double-check but I am quite sure that it is the latest.

>2. If you have a reproducible problem, Craig is very good about updating his libraries.
I will see that I can get something to Craig to repro.

>3. In the meantime, a work around may be to use strconv() to convert your source data to hex and then encrpypt the hex output. I understand that this will double the size of your data.
I already am using strconv(), but i use it after I call the encrypt and before I call the decrypt, so i can store it properly. I will test to see what i can do with calling it before as well.

Thanks!
Carsten
