DB PREFERENCE - SECURITY:

This allows you to set the level of security on the data base. The encryption routine is not that secure. For maximum security use a real encryption program.

Encryption.

Encryption sets the password for the data base. This password forms a part of the encryption key. It is recommended that you do not encrypt the data base. For maximum security you should buy a product designed specifically for protecting data from prying eyes. The encryption algorithm is a simple one used to protect your data from accidentally being seen (such as in recovering data from a crashed hard drive).

Encrypting memory will drasticly slow down Home Accounting. Encrypting the File only affects Home Acounting when saving and loading a data base.

If you set the security level to encrypt file and memory, then the data base entries will not be affected untill you either close the view (by switching or closing the DB Preferences window) or click the Apply button.
