Greetings Peter! Well, Eureka worked fine, but without the correct End User entered password within an app the data is encrypted. So, No Go for me. These folks do not have the money to have anyone (even me) do a full hack-down (as in, "smack down") on the database. They will just have to chalk it up to always insisting on having a working password for any app before paying good money for it. Not my doing, and my hands are now officially washed of it. Imagine, a database that is protected from the ODBC layer as well as encrypted internally! Gee, what is the world coming to anyway?
Thanks for the Eurake (SIW) link, it looks like a handy tool to have along with all the other tools I have in my quiver.
