I encrypt passwords in db.
On the form for changing user data, there's textbox field for entering new password. Becouse I want it to be initially empty, there's $fldpass =""; in before show event.
In before update event there's code for encrypting new value:
if ($fldpass != "")
{ $fldpass = md5($fldpass); }
but this also means, that if user don't eneter anything in this box, form is updated with empty pass field value (null password is stored in db). Of course I would like the form to leave old password.. And I don't want to make sql query for retrieving old value from db before update..
Does anybody has any idea?..

On your form. Bring in your field as a "hidden" field.
Then add an addition text box,without a field listed, for the user to indicated new password.
Then in the "before update" event, check to see if there was an "valid" entry in the text box, if so, set the Password field equal to it, else leave the password field as it originally was.
In ASP this would be like following..
Field = Password
Text Box = NewPassword
In the before Update event..
If fldNewPassword <> "" then
fldPassword = fldNewPassword
end if
'then encrypt in what ever method you would use..like a function..
fldPassword = Encrypt(fldPassword)
