I want to save a password field encrypted into a table. So I issue the following: replace xyz_password with x3ed("E",cPassword), where cPassword = "abc" and the field length is 10. Now if I issue ? x3ed("D",xyz_password) I get 7 goofy characters followed by abc, instead of just 'abc'.

The framework does this with password field in the user data entry form and it works fine there.

I assume it has something to do with the length of the field in the replace command.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
