Hello Herfried,
Thank you for your help but I have been trying this and it does not
work. Any other suggestions? Here is the function I have been using. This is
in a module. It always returns a false.
Imports System.IO
Public Function CheckEncrypt(ByVal fname As String)
Dim eFlag As Boolean = False
If (File.GetAttributes(fname) And FileAttributes.Encrypted) =
FileAttributes.Encrypted Then
eFlag = True
End If
Return eFlag
End Function
The file is one that I saved with cryptostream. Am I suppose to set the
encryption attribute when saving? I have even tried setting it using
File.SetAttributes(fname, File.GetAttributes(fname) Or
FileAttributes.Encrypted)
but it did not work either.
Thank you,
Debbie
