Hi,

There's an old, easy trick to do this. Use a low level fopen() and modify the table header slightly. VFP will not be able to open the table nor will any other xbase compatible sfotware. When you want to use the table, open it using fopen() and write back to the header what ever you removed in step one. Save the file and open it normally. At the end of the session change the header back and you have cheap security!
