Add file to Custom Property

[Bill Vlahos]

Jeff,

Thanks. That seems to do it.
on mouseUp
   answer file "Please select a file..."
   put it into lFileToRead
   -- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable
   open file lFileToRead for binary read
   read from file lFileToRead until end
   close file lFileToRead
   set the uFileStore of me to it
end mouseUp

I don't think I need to do the Base64 encoding. You are correct I didn't have any code for encrypting but I know how to do that.

Next is how do I open the file saved? I don't really want to write it to disk for security reasons unless I need to.

This statement doesn't work.
   open (URL "binfile:" & uFileStore of button "Save File")

Base64 encoding is a means of taking binary data and turning it into something that can be sent via email, posted to a website, etc (read: no spaces, line feeds, nulls, etc).
