>>>Thanks for your reply. Perhaps the DEMO version does not run on .Exee. or maybe I'm missing include some instruction. or maybe I downloaded an incomplete or unauthorized DEMO copy from a website. I have really only two days working with this library. and I have new questions :
>>>1 .- Where I can buy the Cryptor 5.0
>>>2 .- version 5.00.124 is the last version released? or are there new versions?
>>>3 .- which companies provide technical support of Crytor?
>>>
>>>I think the most suitable solution to protect the tables .dbf is using Crptor. only in case of failing to get a supplier who can sell me cryptor with tech support I'll buy the software UniversalShiel 4.3.1.

>>>Thanks again !

>>The best way to protect your tables is by using for instance SQL server or some other "real" DBMS to store the data. You can still use VFP as front end.

>>Regarding Cryptor, you can try http://www.xitech-europe.co.uk/

>Be warned about Cryptor. As far as I can tell, it's a dead company and a dead product. I have tried many times to contact them and have received no response. Check the News page on the site. No news in 5 years. I use Cryptor 4 with great success, but they stopped responding to tech support years ago. I tried to contact them a few years ago with a question about upgrading to version 5, but received no response on that query, either. I've seen other postings with people trying to contact them and having no success. They seemed to have abandoned the market with no explanation.

I also seemed to recall something like what you tell.
