Password encryption

Hi,

I'm using an Access-database to store my data.
I'm going to encrypt the user's password using MD5.
This will give me a password as a binary of 16 long.

Does anyone know what type I need to give to my column in my
Access-database?
I can seem to find the binary-type.

ThxWhat you can do is use the
FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfig File() method.
This will returns you a ash of your password in a string format. It could be
easier to store it in dB.
