Could you point the better way to ensure a Wordpad content, by encryption or password ?
Hi Experts
Could you point the better way to ensure a Wordpad content, by encryption or password ?
Also, what is the better way to do that?
By the way the file is opened by a VFP application
Any suggestion on decrypyt before it's opened and then after it's saved, is it a good approach?
Thanks in advance

Main issue is that you have to create a plain text file tobe able to edit it with most editors. The clipboard could be used to paste content into the editor, but there is no trigger to know when the application should take over the changes, and there might be size limitations.
As stated by st5an, context is missing to be able to provide something useful.

Hi Eduardo,
I'm not sure what your are asking beyond that.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Sorry.
To be clearer.
My concern is about Wordpad text content's confidenciality since its has personal informations (the use of Wordpad was estabilished since not all the PC stations have a Word licence).
So if someone have the rights - login/ password/ access level to enter a VFP app (just to inform the language maybe it could help someway, but that's not the core point), from inside it he have access to call Wordpad, to read and maintain the text, after that save it's content.
If someone outside the app try to open the file directly with Wordpad it's denied and can't read and change anything.
That's the goal.

Pcelba's zipping by using VFPcompression with password fits very well my needs at the moment, on a reasonable security level, deletung the .doc after zipping is done.
To give permissions on the folders maybe on a next step NTFS maybe could be adopted also.
Just to clarify why I mentined Word at begining , just to know of a possible app that encrypt it's contents when the file is salved.
Thanks for the help!

Maybe you should rephrase your question. Context, use-case, goals..
