Public Function MD5Hex(textString As String) As String | |
Dim enc | |
Dim textBytes() As Byte | |
Dim bytes | |
Dim outstr As String | |
Set enc = CreateObject("System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider") | |
textBytes = textString | |
bytes = enc.ComputeHash_2((textBytes)) | |
For pos = 1 To LenB(bytes) | |
outstr = outstr & LCase(Right("0" & Hex(AscB(MidB(bytes, pos, 1))), 2)) | |
Next | |
MD5Hex = outstr | |
Set enc = Nothing | |
End Function |
it didn't work for me, I had to explicitly convert the string to bytes using an UTF-8 encoding to get the correct result:
Public Function MD5Hex(textString As String) As String
Dim enc
Dim textBytes() As Byte
Dim bytes
Dim outstr As String
Set encoder = CreateObject("System.Text.UTF8Encoding")
Set enc = CreateObject("System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider")
textBytes = encoder.GetBytes_4(textString)
bytes = enc.ComputeHash_2((textBytes))
For pos = 1 To LenB(bytes)
outstr = outstr & LCase(Right("0" & hex(AscB(MidB(bytes, pos, 1))), 2))
Next
MD5Hex = outstr
Set enc = Nothing
Set encoder = Nothing
End Function
Thanks ken-itakura and dandfra for the code.
By using the description on dummies.com I was able to insert a new column containing the crypted password in excel.
I'm not a programmer, more a "copy an paste tinkerer".
So I'm gently asking you for help to get the function as a button in a form into access.
The comlumns I use is passwort as source and cpasswort as target.
Can you please help me with that, if it's not too much time and effort.
Thanks and have a nice day
