I too have and use Cryptor for my applications for sensitive data... The encryption is easy to implement... Little mods recently, but when I did have an issue, I was able to get direct support from Xitech (but that was about 1 yr ago).

Also, if you do encryption, you need to make sure you encrypt index files too if they are key to sensitive data... If you have a table with SSNs and encrypt the table, but not the indexes, then the index file will be in readable format..

Except for my initial setup and confirmation on encryption issues, I have had NO problems since. The one thing I DID have to do though was open the file explicitly pathed such as...

lcPathToData = "C:\SomePath\SomeDir\"
use ( lcPathToData + "YourFile" )

But you'll see that with the encryption directions when you register a table for encryption listening.

>Just wondering if anyone is using encryption at the table level. I have a client who had had a security breach and now needs to encrypt their VFP tables. Because of the amount of coding changes, it would be cost prohibitive to start encrypting only at the field level, so we are looking at encrypting tables.

I haven't received any response to emails sent to Hallogram or Xitech. There is no evaluation software (although, they say there is a money back guarantee). Is this product dead? The Xitech website doesn't look like it's been updated in quite awhile. I have seen references that there haven't been any changes in the software in a while either. I don't want to buy a product that isn't going to have ongoing support.
