Chuck,

<< What about deciding within the init, decrypt and encrypt events how to
handle the encryption.  I see that the sender is the DBISAMEngine, which
doesn't seem to help much.  I looked at the runtime properties of the
DBISAMEngine, and nothing looked promising.

Is there a way to determine what dataset or file is being processed from
the DBISAMEngine? >>

Unfortunately, no, because the encryption is used for remote communications
between the client session and database server in addition to the table
encryption.
