texte = I read an archive message about encrypting and decrypting the contents of a database. It said that sometimes you have to experiment with the URL and UnURL tags to get the encrypt/decrypt tags to work properly. It said that using two Encrypt tags and one Decrypt tag worked, but to experiment and see what works on each setup.I tried that in one database and had no problems. I used: [URL][URL][Encrypt Seed=123][Something][/Encrypt][/URL][/URL] [UnURL][Decrypt Seed=123][Something][/Decrypt][/UnURL]This seems to work in that database, so I tried it on another one, but used a different Seed. Again, I used two URL's with the Encrypt tags and one UnURL with the Decrypt tags [URL][URL][Encrypt Seed=qwerty][SomethingElse][/Encrypt][/URL][/URL] [UnURL][Decrypt Seed=qwerty][SomethingElse][/Decrypt][/UnURL]That's when the problems appeared. Some fields would Decrypt and display properly, but not all. I then tried using 2 UnURL outside of the Decrypt tags: [UNURL][UnURL][Decrypt Seed=qwerty][SomethingElse][/Decrypt][/UnURL][/UNURL] That sometimes worked, but not always.I then tried using 2 UnURL tags inside of the Decrypt tags: [Decrypt Seed=qwerty][UNURL][UnURL][SomethingElse][/UnURL][/UNURL][/Decrypt] This works 100% of the time in this database.I also used 1 UnURL tag outside of the Decrypt tag and another UnURL tag inside of it. [UnURL][Decrypt Seed=qwerty][UNURL][SomethingElse][/UNURL][/Decrypt][/UnURL] This also works 100% of the time.It's odd that one format will work in one database, but not in another. Both contain plain text in the database fields. Does anyone have any idea why?Mac, WC 3.08, IE 5.Glenn------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
