>I am creating a program that requires one of the field to be encrypted on the sql server. I need to be able to store weither or not the program has been registered and I don't want the user to be able to just open the table and see what's needed to register the program. Is there a way to encrypt a field in a table. Is there some trick that I could use to do this.

Joshua, I have a pair of simple encode/decode routines that work with a bit mask and will encrypt any valid character string. Let me know if you are interested.
