Data Encryption/Hijri Dates Conversion

I had developed a seprate audit/security database that stored
userID,Password,Username to track who has logon/logout, and what
actions had performed(add, edit, delete, update etc). now the question
who to encrypt the data, what mehtodology is best where at least
password should be kept hided...or protected. as this mdb is linked
with other 10 mdb and data comes from there of various kinds so i have
to used also link table, and link table also wants to hide. just
hiding msysobjects is very easy method. can some one has experience or
share ideas on it.
Hiding a table with password information is not enough to secure the
information. Anyone can link to or externally query the table and acquire
the data.

For each username in your table, instead of storing the straight password in
the Password field of your table, store the HASH of the password. The
following code demonstrates how to hash a string with calls to the advapi32:

The following sample code shows how one might add a User with a username of
"Superg33k" and a password of "gr0nk!" to a table called "UserInfo" with
fields "UserName" and "Password" (call this function with:
?UserAdd("Superg33k","gr0nk!") ):
'----------------------<< begin code >>----------------------
Function UserAdd(UserName As String, Password As String) As Boolean

rst.AddNew
rst!UserName = UserName
rst!Password = HashString(Password)
rst.Update

End If
rst.Close

The following sample code shows how one might verify a User with a username

Question No.2
I had found convertion function from net on same group, i success in
conversion from georgian date to hijri date format, without changing
any of my regional setting. now the problem after converting in hirji
date/year shows in arabic and name of months appear in english...this
is strange behvaior happening to me
say the date today is 3/10/2004, so the out put should be 19/8/1425
but system gives 19/aug/1425 that month name is wrong... i am posting
the codes of it also

- This is the fucntion i used in module
Function strHijri(dtWestDate As Date) As String
' returns a date in Hijri format for a given western date
VBA.Calendar = vbCalHijri
strHijri = dtWestDate
VBA.Calendar = vbCalGreg
End Function
