Encryption and getdocumentbykey

I haven’t used encryption for quite some time and I don’t recall ever using it on a key that I use in a view.

My question is:

If I open a flat file and read in (until EOF) how can I use part of that field to getdocument by key, if my view’s key is now encrypted?

Do I need to encrypt the field before I call the getdocumentby key? OR will it understand and allow me to pass the “plain text” key into the getdocumentbykey call?

It’s impossible for a view’s key column to be encrypted. Encrypted fields can’t be used in views at all.

If you could do this then there would be no point in encryption.

Try another unique field or combination of fields to locate the document.
