I would like to be able to encrypt a file/folder on one machine and access

would work, but apparently it does not. When I try to access the encrypted
file from another machine (while logged on using the same Userid and
password) I get an "access denied" message.

Is there any way to use file encryption in a workgroup environment?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
