Peter, I don’t know why it would be different in the IDE vs a standalone but I wouldn’t expect it to work correctly working with fields. There are limitations of what can be in a field. I wrote the “Encryption Demo Stack” in RevOnLine that works both compiled and in the IDE. It puts the encryp

Hi Jacque, As long as the same encryption algorithm is available on both sides, it should just work. Though to avoid encoding issues when crossing platforms/architectures, it might be best to base64encode your encrypted data before sending it over the wire. Jan Schenkel. = Quartam Reports

Hi Peter, Fields are meant for the display of text, not binary data. You could 'base64encode' the binary data before you display it. Oh, and when treating binary data, you should the 'byte' chunk instead of the 'char' chunk. That way when LiveCode goes all-in Unicode, your script will continuye
