>>I'm thinking about using Cryptor to encrypt data tables. I would like to include the app's Cryptor password within the .EXE. However, I'm concerned that someone with ReFox may be able to decompile the .EXE and read the password, even if the .EXE was created with the VFP "Encrypt" project option turned on.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the heads up.

I wonder if XiTech offers a break for people in this position who will need to buy both products? :-)
