In Crystal 8.5 Pro (and perhaps earlier versions), you can open a *.rpt file in Windows Notepad, and in all of the jibberish that displays, you can find the field names used in the report, the directory path used to locate your database file or database server, login information (username & password -- this according to student), etc.
Would there be any way to mask this information or to have Crystal not display it in something as simple as a text document? The student was concerned that a hacker or someone could gain access to the network, locate Crystal report files in a shared folder on the network, open those reports in Notepad, and record usernames and passwords that belong to network users who created or last modified those Crystal report files stored in the shared folder.
Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks...
