I have not used the PGP SDK but I have built such a process, described in an article in FoxTalk March 2003: "Building a Tool to Secure Messages"
http://www.pinpub.com/html/main.isx?sub=59&story=2658 (for subscribers only I'm afraid).

It is basically a tool that encrypts/decrypts any file so it can be sent over email or any other mode of transmission. A similar tool on the receiving side decrypts the file, provided they have the passphrase. It uses strong cryptography with VFP8 and the Windows CryptoAPI.

You have all the tools already to easily build such a tool, or set of routines in your program to seamlessly encrypt/decrypt, with VFP7 or VFP8.
