>Hi,
>
>VFP 9 Help shows an example of Crypto Foundation Class which is based on Windows API routine. Given that VFP 9 was released several years ago (before even Window 7 was released), would it be practical to use it now? If not, what alternative would you recommend for encrypting a string (e.g. a password in XML file)?

You don't encrypt a password - you hash it

Then convert the hash to base64 and store it in the Xml
