Hello i think cryptographics work strange because if u have db protected by pass (that i dont know) i can just set pass to none and get db data in open code (not crypted) this way crypto is no reason i think change pass operation can be only in 2 things 1- db not encrypted 2 - u enter correct CURRENT db pass and want change it what do u think about this ? _______________________________________________ Delphi Inspiration mailing list yunqa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/yunqa
