Sorry i wasn't more clear.

I wanna be able to de-code the data. I wrote a program that use e-mail to

transmit a table from one point to another. The problem is that the users

who have Visual FoxPro now modify the table directly before sending it. This

should be done only from the program and causes me a lot of problems (at

destination the table is processed automaticly and invalid data may cause

unpleasant error messages).

Thank you all for your help
