Hi there, just want to know how can i export the database to a file that user will not able to view the data insite the file. Just like if using notepad to open then it only will display out all the funny words (~!@#$%^&), like a binary text file.

Regards,

Henry

a - plugin (crypto plug from Dave McKee, or coding fom troi)

b - calculation

b has the disadvantage that the data may be still vievable when you open the original FileMaker file in Notepad. This depends on the design of your database.

I just added a little sample database which transparently handles character translation.

This can be used to encode indifferent charsets as well as for pseudo-encryption.

the crypt/descrypt scripts are triggered upon closing/opening the database ....

Hi Christian,

I downloaded your file and gave it a test. I was impressed until I tried to close it and got the endless "watch" so I Forced Quit FM and when I tried to reopen the file, it stated it was beyond repair. Thinking maybe I had done something stupid, I tried it again with a new copy and had the same result.

Could have anything to do with the Systems being different?
