Well I am somewhat a newb...
Been experimenting on stuff and I decided to try out a password thing. Well here it is.



You do not need to have any extra files. Just copy and paste what I have here and it will work, or at least should. The password to the one is
please
The buttons do work.

Please comment on what I did. I would like to know if im getting learning progress.

Thanks
Nicolas

pretty good, try and make it so that instead of printing what you write it prints out starts(*) instead.

I would do that except at the moment I have no clue how. I got to figure it out.

Probably easy though.

well, you would make it so the program askes you to set a password first and encode that and save it into an exteranl file...

Then when you ask the user for the password, you can decrypt the saved one and then check that against the input text...

Hope I Helped...

Hi,

This code will encrypt / decrypt a password for you...

encryption("PASSWORD","KEY")

PASSWORD = This is the password you want to encrypt
KEY = This is the key used to encrypt the password. A different key will encrypt the password in a different way.

Hope this helps you!

Forgot to say that the KEY string has to be the same one when you encrypt and decrypt. If you are encrypting a different string then you can use a different KEY.

You might want to change your code slightly ... it would be possible for a value of 256 to be calculated which would convert to the ascii value of zero.

DBPro uses this value to indicate where the string ends, so it is not valid for you to use it in your strings.

Actually, if this is a password thingy where you get things in games, such as 1000 free GP or something, you do not need to worry about the asteriks as it does not need to be concealed from prying eyes. Also do not forget to put dims and if...thens to shorten the snippet when you are done... it'll make it easier for me to work with.

IanM,
The code you gave me I think only works in DBP. I currently have DBC at the moment. If it is for DBC then please explain.

Josh,
Thanks for you help on encrypting it. Havent had a chance to try it yet (been working on other things), but it looks good. Thanks.

Not sure if you know what your talking about. I will see you tommorrow so if you read this than tell me at school.

Thanks Guys
