Still can't open an Encrypted DB with Valentina Studio Pro.

Is there a way to execute VSP without automatically loading the last DB?

If there is how do I open an encrypted DB with VSP?


By the way Encrypted vDBs are still freakin fast!

Must use enumeration:


    Dim kStructureOnly as integer = 1
    Dim kStructureAndRecords as integer = 2
    Dim kRecordsOnly as integer = 3
    
    vDb.UseEncryptionKey("xxx", kStructureAndRecords) 'work by itself if
keys are the same

    vDb.UseEncryptionKey("xxx", kStructureOnly) 'works by itself of with
RecsOnly
    vDb.UseEncryptionKey("xxx", kRecordsOnly)   'works by itself of with
StructOnly

Is anyone actually using the encryption?

With VSP I just encrypted my vDB. 
Both data and structure.
Closed VSP.
Executed VSP.
But VSP just hangs trying to open the encrypted db.

And now with V4RB I get the Encryption Key error: 

...
Dim f as folderitem
...    
vDB = new dbValentina
vDB.UseEncryptionKey( "xxx" )
vDB.Open( f )



I get "The specified encryption key is wrong" error.    
Yes, I've backed up my db.


Any positive constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

Just wondering how useful it might be to encrypt the vDB against 
Other knowledgeable developers?  Or a cracker?

I'd like to see if I can encrypt the vDB for each individual user license.
By hand, I know, can be time consuming and dangerous if I lost the key etc.

Is there a way to hide the vDB with my RB.exe into a single .exe?

All my best,
     Barry G. Sumpter
