I have a project where I need to take an internal identifier to our system and send out an MD5 hash of that value to an external system. &nbsp;I am using MS Access 2003 as my application front end. &nbsp;I have seen several references to &quot;System.Security.Cryptogra<wbr />phy&quot;, apparently in the system.dll, but when I add a reference to that object I do not see this object path, or frankly anything that I expect to see related to security and or cryptography.<br />
<br />
So, is there a way from within MS Access to generate an MD5 hash code? &nbsp;What exactly do I need to do?<br />
<br />
Thanks!!

How do I generate an MD5 hash in MS Access 2003

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
