Most encryption routines will decrypt if the encrypted object is run through the encryption again.<br />

I don't think Base64 will decrypt the file by running it through again!!! &nbsp;I've already tried that and it didn't work.<br />

I've already got the necessary routine to decode Base64 but it is useful to understand how it works - maybe i'll even write my own routine as the one i'm using at the moment is a little convoluted and inefficient (or at least it would appear so).<br />

Hi there,<br />
<br />
MrMick very kindly answered a question of mine a few day ago and provided me with a routine to encode a file into base64. &nbsp;I've used this routine and it works fine but would now like the ability in my app to decode these files as well.<br />
<br />
Has anyone got a VB sub that will do this?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

MrMick - Decoding Base64 files!!

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
