- a very good commercial tool is Cryptor, have a look at: http://www.xitech-europe.co.uk/. - in the files section of this forum you have to utilities: Classes-VCX Library, entry: Encryptor/Decription in VFP and in the Third Party library, the entry: Cipher. - you may encrypt the "character" stream yourself, with something líke an XOR operation. - you may relay on the word password scheme for documents, but it's weak an easy to crack.Hope this helps !
