Hi Neil,

I see others have answered your question, but I wanted to clarify that Cipher50 is more current and if you're just getting started you'll probably want to use that.

The Cipher50 .FLL is smaller and faster and I don't think the encrypted strings are compatible between the two versions. So if you ever update the encryption library from v3.0 to v5.0 later on, you'll have an extra task of converting encrypted strings.

Also, FYI, these versions of the Cipher library are not as secure as the Crypto API that has been availble in for use in VFP since VFP7 or VFP8.
