Hi Carsten,

If you have a reproduceable error with the vfpencryption.fll or vfpencryption71.fll I would like to see it. I would guess that you are running an older version of the vfpencryption.fll that had some issues. Also, in the latest version of the library the RC4 stream cipher is available... which would keep you from having to pad your fields. In any event, if you have any more questions or concerns feel free to drop me a line and I will do whatever I can to help.

If I encrypt my data again using a different key, the error will occur on a different record. I have tried padding my data to the length of the key, but that has not helped. I have tried various encryption modes and types, but that has not changed anything either.
