Hello Andy

     Hmmm...  What if you were to encrypt the entries instead of the
entrie file and then write somesort of view which reads all the entries
into a dataSet using the TextDataFile, but decripts the display based on
the users privledges.  That way you wouldn't have to encrypt and decrypt
the entire file each time you updated an entry, and you would still be
able to use TexDataFile to read in the database.  What kind of
encryption scheme are yuo planning on using?
