Encryptying reports

rbuser

Is there a good way to encrypt end-user report files/templates to make it so
they can't be opened by another end-user (or developer for that matter)?
Any tips welcome.

Thanks,
Jim Cullison

Hi Jim,

use a database that supports encryption.

Chris,

Guess I need to clarify. What I'm wondering is if there is some way to
control the save to file process so that the file is a proprietary format.
There is an event to get control over the entire save process
(OnCustomOpenDoc/OnCustomSaveDoc), but I think that is a bit much. I guess
what I'm looking for is an event for save that would allow me to alter the
file in memory before it is written to disk and then write the file, doing
the reverse on a load event. Anything like that out there? Or maybe I
could call something from inside OnCustomSaveDoc to get the file ready to
save, then alter it?

Thanks,
Jim

I think OnCustomOpenDoc/OnCustomSaveDoc are going to be your best bet.
