Declare Function sx_DbfEncrypt Lib "Apollo9.dll" () As Integer
BOOL FAR PASCAL sx_DbfEncrypt (VOID);
Encrypts all records in a table (that have not as yet been encrypted) using the encoding key set via sx_SetPassword.
Once sx_SetPassword has been issued with an encoding key, records are automatically encrypted when they are written, and automatically decrypted when they are read. Use sx_DbfEncrypt to encrypt an existing un-encrypted table and/or use it to ensure that other xBase programs cannot read the table. One of the functions of sx_DbfEncrypt is to alter the table header to make it incompatible with standard xBase programs.
The password used in encrypting the table must be set via sx_SetPassword. If a password has not been set, no encrypting takes place.
The progress of the function may be visually monitored if a gauge hook has been set with sx_SetGaugeHook.
The file should be opened for exclusive use before encrypting or decrypting.
True if the function is successful and False if not.
