[Solved using other method] Change access database field before retrive it on VB

[Ph0b0s]

Help!

I have a Access database, which stores a password. Now, that password will be encrypted on the database, since it was not. But, i need the old programs to keep running, even of they don't incorporate the encrypt decrypt function. Basically, i wanted to make a middle ware, which when the program ask the password, it descripts it and retrieves it. Can it be done?

Thanks... this is a great example why we should use at least a 3 tier application

Why do you need the old one to keep running?

Why not make your change and roll out a whole new version?

Hack, because we i have older applications which cannot be modified on the client and they need to work also, when we change this field.

Anyway, I've solved the problem. We created a new field, the new versions read the new field and the old ones keep reading the old one

Anyway, would be interesting for the future know if a change like this could be done.
