>I saw your thread about strconv() but how to do you decrypt the string back and get the original string you encrypted?

StrConv(cString,13) converts to Base64
StrConv(cString,14) reverses it

Note that Base64 is not encryption and it should be used to convert to printable characters that can be safely transferred (in an encrypted XML elemnet or a text file or whatever).

What I do is use strong encryption with the Windows CryptoAPI as shown in the mentioned articles, then convert to Base64 so you don't get funny characters that can make a mess as they can contain control chars.
