Keep data scrambled on reload

[#1]

Hi All,

I am building an application which has some data that I would prefer the end users to not see the real values of, but I do want them to see the field. I know I can do this via the "Scramble" tab on the document after it is loaded, but when the reload is run, the scrambling is lost. So, it seems to me that the Scramble function at that level is great for doing a demo, but not on an operational basis.

Is there a way to scramble a field in the load script, or preserve the scrambling after the reload ?

Thanks for your help!

Rob

P.S. I am using v 8.5

You could do your own scrambling in the load script with the hash128() function.

Use this macro to run OnPostReload

Sub Scramble
ActiveDocument.ScrambleField "Field",false
End Sub

Is there any way to scramble a substring on the OnPostReload?  For example, if I field "ABDC123", I only want to only scramble the first 4 characters.
