Question 1 - I was wondering if you knew what type of
encryption is used by MS Access 97?

Question 2 - Do you know how it works, algorithm
information etc?

For Example:

Some of the possible encryption types you might find in
the Encryption Type dialog are: • Weak Encryption (XOR)
Not recommended, provided for legacy files only • Office
97/2000 Compatible Not recommended, provided for legacy
files only • RC4, Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider
v1.0 • RC4, Microsoft Base DSS and Diffie-Hellman
Cryptographic Provider • RC4, Microsoft DH SChannel
Cryptographic Provider • RC4, Microsoft Enhanced
Cryptographic Provider v1.0 • RC4, Microsoft Enhanced DSS
and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider • RC4, Microsoft

I would be forever grateful if you would kindly replied.
