Thanks for the reply Valery,

Basically I am trying to do what is described by this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821762

I have a VB 6 app that needs to encrypt some data, send it over the
network to a .Net app which decrypts it, the VB 6 app then receives
encrypted data in return which it needs to decrypt.

The KB article was great, but they don't provide the decrypt function
in VB 6, only the encrypt. I tried to create myself but it just errored
with certain strings.

So now I am desperately looking for some way to get an algorithm that
will work between VB6 & .Net.

All I really need is a working decrypt function to go along with the
provided encrypt function from the above KB article. :(
