Hi Tracy,

>Of course, if I try to run the same utility in VFP7, it cannot unencrypt the values. Does anyone have any ideas?

SELECT alias
SET NOCPTRANS TO fieldname

This tells VFP to use the binary values from the field and not convert them to the Windows code page. Codepage conversions are not reversible. Using CPCONVERT() to convert the value back to DOS therefore doesn't work.
