You are only wasting CPU encrypting/decrypting fields.You would be better off if you never encrypted any field that youintended to search, IMHO.However, as Grant states (and he should know), it's all text so if youare sure you know what you are searching for, you should be able tosearch encrypted fields. And, if it wasn't clear from Grant's e-mail,that means only whole field searchs; no substring searching allowed.John--John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4720 Boston WayLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5747-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
