texte = Hi Matthew,I tested WebDNA and learned that it won't produce [math] results more than 15 chars long before it resorts to scientific notation, and therefore it appears your suggestion is not possible ... :(I also did a bunch of reading online about prime numbers (very interesting) but none of it matters for use in WebDNA if the [math] context cannot produce numbers more than 15 chars long.It sure would be nice if encrypt / decrypt worked with cookies, and I'm not sure why it doesn't when it works with db's. Any theories about this?Sincerely,Ken Grome> Yes the 533000389 is a prime number. Do a Google search> for prime numbers and you should fine many sources> online.
