In Windows Vista encrypting DBF had become a real trouble due to Cryptor
doesn´t work here.

I can´t use SQL server or MySQL instead native DBFs, because I always must
include Phdbase for indexing memo fields and now it is out.

My app has several medium size tables, between 20 and 50 MBs which are only
for read. It not are updated. I´d thought include them in the exe file but
perhaps it will bring problems.

Some years ago I used to scramble DBF header and fix it when I open it. But
now recovering tools prevent protect them.

Does somebody knows something to protect DBFs en VFP native code?

Thanks.

Maybe thread "Search using locate taking too long" about fulltext indexin=
g=20
support can help you to switch to MySQL or the like.
