Hi David

For the time being I have stopped using the Windows Encryption because of difference between Win98/ME/2000 and WinXP. They use different encryption dll. Windows XP used rsaenh.dll while the others use rsabase.dll. It makes no difference if you tell Win XP to use the MS Base Cryptographic Library.

I now use a third party crypto library until the Windows incompatibility is solved properly.

>I am developing an application to be used across the internet to connect to a SQL 7 database. I am using the _crypto class that ships with VFP 7 to encrypt/decrypt data. It all work great with Windows 95,98, and 2000, but the problem I am having is that with Windows XP the data is not being decrypted. My Encryption Key is 128 Characters (1024 bit) and I am using the Microsoft Strong Encryption Provider. Does anyone know of any issues with using the Crypto API on Windows XP. I've search Microsoft Knowledgebase, but can't seem to find anything. Any help or ideas you could pass my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
