Hi,

I have a 2MB text file that I need to be able to encrypt/decrypt quickly so the user does not have to wait too long..

The idea is to just keep the casual user from looking at the text file directly.. If a hacker can crack the code, then oh well.. No biggy.. My priority is speed and then encryption..

As an alternative, is it possible to compile a text file within the executable? The text will not ever change.. Probably not, but I just thought I'd ask..

I used the CryptoAPI module found at freevbcode.com but it took so long it locked up my computer..

When replying, please keep in mind that I'm new to this subject so I need example code to go along with your suggestions..

Thanks,

Dan
