Encryptying reports

edited October 2002 in End User
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.
