Hi All,

I have some code that encrypts and decrypts data. I have tested to see if ti works and it does.
I am using the triple DES cryptography method.

My question is if I have a password database which stores passwords as normal strings how can i determine whether the string is encrypted or not?

I have an access database and you cannot encrypt data when entering data into the database.

From my vb code i want to retrieve the password from the database and check to see if the data is encrypted. If it is then I can decrypt it and if not I want to encrypt it and update the database.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Sunny
