Encryption of Database
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:53 pm
Hi, I have just downloaded this Money Manager and have started to process some entries along with getting to know the functions. So far most has performed as expected except encryption.
I started a new database (first) *.mmb and made a few entries. I then followed the instructions to encrypt the database to *.emb. The process seemed successful including the adding of a password. I cleared recent files and then exit the program.
Upon re-entering the program I have found that BOTH the encrypted (.emb) database AND the original database (.mmb) can be accessed from the front entry page.
If you exit from *.emb file and then re-access the program, the following is presented:
Clicking: Open Last opened Database, take you to the requirement for a password, which is correct.
However:
Clicking: Open Existing Database, takes you to the directory where the un-encrypted file is stored. From here you can select the file and open it without a password.
Have I missed something in setting up the encryption?
Should the *.mmb file be deleted after setting up *emb file and password?
