>>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)?

If it works with honest people this is all I need; no need for super secure. So you are saying that even the current VFP 9 Crypto approach will work even in Windows 8?
