Dick writes "I have a table that contains system user information such as user name, login, password etc.

create table tbuser(
LoginName varchar(20) NOT NULL,
UserName varchar(60) NOT NULL,
Password varchar(20) NULL,
bActive bit default(1) NOT NULL)

On the query analyser or any query tool, we can see the password in plain text. Is there any method to change the field type so that it can not display plain text.

I am using my vb code to encrypt the data before updating and vice versa to decrypt the data."
