I have temp employees entering data in in remote locations and want to prevent them from accessing the data after it is entered in the form. I want to be able to encrypt the data when created and have it emailed back to me encrypted in an excel file where I can decrypt. Is this possible?

You can use global fields and a script that creates the records.

Limit access to the data not with encryption, but by with the access privileges of the users.

Carrying on from there, don't export the data. Either send the whole file back or have a two file system, both files protected. The second file just holds the last batch of data processed if there are many processing sessions and for some reason you are not clearing the file of data periodically.

Then the data is always behind the FileMaker Access Privileges fire wall.

In addition, you can also use some compression/encryption program on the file prior to sending it through.
