Hi Dave, Sorry to take so long to reply - just by chance that I read this forum for the first time in months. In the end I used a component called CryptOCX, which can do PGP and lots of other algorithms too. Cost GBP200 or so. There are a couple of drawbacks: 1. The property used to set the...

That's excellent - will try this now. Thank you very much.

Is it possible for a .Net exe to be kept on a server and run via a desktop shortcut? Need some high level advice on architecture and installation. Our environment is simple – about 200 users on 1 LAN. We have in house fat client applications written in VB6. These are installed in our own...

Got a naming and strategy problem here. My company is trying to haul itself into the warehouse world, little by little. Currently we have a legacy system which holds lots of back office data. It's not well designed, to the extent that lots of data is held more than once. It's up for replacement...

It always works for me (in VB6), but the PGPFileDecrypt method often reports "Error: Cannot decrypt a signature". Plain text file seems OK though. I did have problems with some keys prior to getting version 4.1, if there's no password on the key then the Password property must be set...

You might also look at CryptOCX from www.easybyte.com. I use this to encrypt and FTP files to and from suppliers. I got this when it turned out that to automate PGP you have to buy the SDK or the command line version; both cost a lot. I think this OCX is a wrapper on the SDK. If you do get...

Still hunting for a solution? I do this in VB using CryptOCX from www.EasyByte.com. The FTP script deals with the download only. The OCX works quite well; a few problems which I'll share solutions for if needed. I did get this working using PGP freeware 6.5.8 (GUI version) by shelling to...

Apologies for not checking this thread sooner.... I never did find a solution. In the end I had to buy a component to do the job - CryptOCX from http://www.easybyte.com/. This works well though the documentation is poor and it has a few little foibles - some string properties need vbNullString...

Don't know if this works in 9, but in 8.5 you can still use the v 7 report compiler (downloadable from the website, free). It's a bit of a pain as it has lots of required DLLs you need to distribute, but does the job. Bill.

I have a report on which I'd like to set alerts so the user can be warned of missing data. The alerts work well in CR8.5 itself, but when I call the report through crpeaut32.dll in my VB6 app, the alerts don't get triggered. I can't find anything in the object model (I know the RDC caters for...

More of a rant than a question... I've written a VB app for 1 user, which downloads 2 PGP encrypted files and decrypts them, and encrypts and uploads another single file. It will do this once a day. Got it working nicely with v6.5.8 freeware, and now want to buy the commercial version to be...

Thanks for this - I've tried the LaserWriter II NT v47.0, and still get PS which is too complex. There are a few others in the LaserWriter II family which I'll have a go with as well. Bill.

(Warning: very low level of knowledge....) I have a problem with PS drivers on Win2k producing much more complex PS than their NT4 equivalents. I need to find a Win2k driver which will produce nice simple PS. We have a legacy system which deals with concatenation and pagination of reports...

I'm having trouble with command line PGP 6.5.8 (freeware). When I try to decrypt a file with the syntax pgp <filename> it returns the message: File is encrypted. Secret key is required to read it. You do not have the secret key needed to decrypt this file. However, if I run pgp -kv, the key...

Binzer33, Did you get a solution? I have exactly this problem: &quot;pgp -kv&quot; reports that I have the key, but &quot;pgp MyCipherText.txt&quot; denies all knowledge. PGPTools (the Windows GUI version) asks me to enter the passphrase and then decrypts very nicely. Thanks in advance if you...

John, There are other possible reasons for this - see Q213524 at MSDN. This describes the fault but the circumstances are different. I located the DLL that the function (for me, it was Format) needed using the Object Browser and made sure everything was up to date to no avail. I think the...

Can the settings of a PostScript printer be controlled from Word VBA? I have a macro which needs to create a PostScript file; I do this with Application.PrintOut. This works well, except that I need to ensure that the file is in colour and TrueType fonts are downloaded as softfonts. These are...

Thanks, this works, and much easier than SetWindowPos and its API chums. Bill.

Look at the API calls GetEnvironmentStrings, GetEnvironmentVariable and SetEnvironmentVariable. If you find the MSDN documentation too hard on this, rush out and buy Dan Appleman's Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API. First though, I'd think very hard about whether you really need...

Is there a way to task switch in VB (between to running applications) without SendKeys &quot;%{TAB}&quot; ?
