Ionut,
There is no protection against ReFox, except ReFox. Decompilers work on VFP compiled code. If you purchase ReFox and use its "branding" option, ReFox will not decompile your code because it will respect the bytes inserted into your code base. However, this does not stop another decompiler from working on your code.

In addition, Victor Anderson (sp?) has posted that he knows where the "branding" bytes are inserted and removing them with a simple hex editor defeats the branding altogether.

Bottom line is that there is no sure fire way to protect your VFP code from people that really want it.

Regards.
