Passwords on CS stuff is a breeze, I have never
needed one to encrypt tables before in a local
desktop application.
I set the password in Dbsys and then went looking
for info for calling it in code.
I found this FAQ on the site, but I couldnt figure it.
I have encrypted certain tables in order to protect them from unauthorized
access. How do I automatically open these tables up in my application
without the user seeing a password prompt ?

I just want the app to run without the pword dialog firing, any examples
or scouse translations (John Lennon spoke scouse)
Thanks
Rita

Hardcode the passwords in your app, and add them the the session before you
access the tables. The procedure is addpassword (I think).

The answer was under "Opening Encrypted Tables":

Opening Encrypted Tables

When a table is marked as encrypted and given a password, its contents are
then encrypted using this password and any subsequent attempts to open the
table only succeed if this password (in this order):

1) Is present in the in-memory list of passwords for the current
TDBISAMSession component. You can use the AddPassword, RemovePassword, and
RemoveAllPasswords methods to add and remove passwords for the current
session.

2) Is provided on-demand through the OnPassword event of the current
session.

3) Is provided on-demand through a visual password dialog that will be
displayed if the OnPassword event is not assigned an event handler.

The AddPassword method is what you want.  Just call it before opening any
encrypted tables, and you'll be all set.
