>There is an issue with the Crypto Provider between OS. The default Crypto Provider is different for Windows 2000 and XP. It is Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider (Rsabase.dll) for Windows 2000 and Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider (Rsaenh.dll) for Windows XP. To fix it, try to set the 'cprovidername' property of the _cryptapi class to "Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0" which is a value of dsMS_DEF_PROV_A constant in the wincrypt.h include file. Have not tried it with Win98.

Your sample code works wonders. I encrypt reports in .doc format and then email as attachment. Question is, how can the recipient (who doesn't have VFP) decrypt the attachment?
TIA!
Thanks!
