Don,

Interesting idea. I will keep this in mind if Lisa's suggestion does not work.

>>I am using vfpencryption.fll in encrypt a user's password and then I am using strconv(password,15) to convert the results so it will store in a database easier. I have run into an issue trying to test if the password is encrypted so I don't try and encrypt it twice. Is there a way to test if a string has been converted?
