Customized Load/Save of templates

edited December 2001 in General
Hi!

I haven't checked this out but is it possible to override the template's
Load and Save routines to read them e.g. from an encrypted file? Maybe you
install a filter routine or so which loads the data in memory and there it
is processed by the Load/Save method ... if that's possible I'd be able to
encrypt the files, so nobody except me is able to open them again. The
reason for this is that nobody should be able to change the files without
our report designer - so if only the report designer knows the
encryption/decryption algorithm this would be a quite perfect solutions. I
think you get the point I mean...

Helge.

    The template rtm file can be saved as ASCII text, and you can certainly take
    these charactres and encrypt them. You application can simply use the public
    events of the Template object to perform the encryption/decryption of the
    rtm. Search the RB help file index on 'Template.'

    Ok, I'll do that.
