How to encrypt the database

Post by Mik »

I just installed MMEX version 1.5.8 (for Windows) but I can't find anywhere the procedure to encrypt the database.
If I create a new database it created a .mmb file.
The "change encrypted password" under Tools is greyed out.
I can't find anywhere in the documentation how to do that.
Anyone can help?

Ok, I finally found
viewtopic.php?p=19730#p19730
where it explains it.
Maybe it's a good idea to add that to the User Manual

As far as I can tell that convert an existing encrypted database to an unencrypted one. Not the opposite
