First, could you confirm that you really need to ability to append record to an existing encrypted file?

If I understand the question correctly; not always, but maybe at times and therefore I have to code that in.

Sounds like you don't need the code from this thread at all, and I'm curious as to why you posted in this thread at all. Your problem has nothing to do with the OP's.

(If you ever do need to append to a file, just decrypt it, append, and encrypt the new contents.)

Even if you will be using this for log files where the append code would be useful, you should be concentrating on being able to decrypt the code from BlowfishNET. One problem at a time.

However, I can't get it to decrypt the file that is encrypted using the BlowfishNET 2.1.2

I don't feel like installing this, so I'll need the following:
