Turning on encryption in filePro 5.7.03

[Mike Schwartz]

     I've never worked with filepro's encryption (either single-field or
full-file encryption).   One of my customers wants me to use full-file
encryption so that their databases are no longer ascii readable.  

 

     In "define files" I see where I can put an encryption password in.
(filePro 5.7.03 running under Redhat Linux)

 

     I'm not sure what needs to be done after that point.  In the filePro
help files, encrypt says "under construction".  In the on-line filePro
manual, most of the references to encryption refer to single-field
encryption. 

 

     Once I go into define files and encrypt a file, do I have to add a
password to each lookup line?  

 

     Any other caveats?  

 

     This customer has over 1,200 filePro files and 10's of thousands of
lines of code, so this might be a cost-prohibitive project if I have to
modify the code...

 

Thanks,

 

Mike Schwartz
