[Gambas-user] How to decrypt a text? Any suggestions?

[Brant Wells]

Good point, Rob.  I haven't done any DB work in Gambas yet...  and I 
hadn't even thought about mysql having it's own password stuff.  It's 
been too long.... Maybe I should go get the newest one. (grin).

As for rolling my own encryption, I have done it in the past in VB (the 
code worked perfectly over in Gambas =-O ), simply because I didn't 
understand how to use some of the encryption controls / functions for 
VB.  I saw the gb.Crypt stuff, and was going to take a look at it, but 
just haven't had time as I've been busy battling viruses on my network...

Daniel:

Sure, let me take a look at it.  I can't guarantee any time frame, but 
I'll happily let you have the Gambas code if I can get it figured out.  
Maybe we could double team it and come up with a Control for Gambas?


See Ya Guys!
