Unencryption for field........

[Ron]

This is a shot in the dark, but I guess I just need confirmation. I discovered a little-known function to encrypt a password field in SQL Server 6.5. (pwdencrypt). Is there a way to retrieve the uncripted value of the field at all? Please let me know

I don't know of one, and to be honest there should not be one either.

Passwords should be secure and kept that way

Use Pwdcompare to compare your string against an encrypted password.
