your right!

Now the problem is fixed and its working fine..

now i have 2 applications (desktop/pda)

and one more thing..can i do the encryption of list of files present in the
folder

like

test.abc
test1.abc
etc

to

encrypt serially one by one?

and same for decrypting one by one automatically

how can we do that?

Thanks,
