Hi Sergey

I'm setting my encryption to Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0

So i'm assuming that sorts that issue out.

After doing some tests, i've changed one of the fields to Memo (Binary),

looking at the type of data that doesn't seem to work, IE returns empty string after decrypting, the following strings don't work:

Christine
Pauline
Raymond
Christina

TAI

>>I've used the "_cryptapi" class, (customers preference)

>>Using the class if I encrypt a string, decrypting it gives me my original string, but when I put the encrypted string into the original field that the string is from in the table, when I read it back later and decrypt it I sometimes get the right results, sometimes I don't.
