Almost there. Looks like I may need a specific reference but I don't see any .net references in the References section. Any ideas? Object Required: Set encoder = CreateObject(“System.Text.UTF8Encoding”)

Absolutely fantastic!! I can't wait to try it out! Thank you so much!!

@theDBguy - Can you please elaborate on that? What do you mean by "using a hash"? Is that available internally within Access? Can you point me in the right direction? I appreciate your help!

In every database application the passwords should be secure. We live in an age of online banking and social media. Some people use the same password for multiple applications. Rather than go on a mission to educate the public I would prefer to secure the passwords in my applications. I will...

Thanks @theDBguy - I, like any other developer, want to protect, at least, passwords. Access offers an input mask which masks the passwords so that they can't be read. Great. Access allows you to remove the input mask and thereby view everyone's passwords in plain text. Not great. Access allows...

Seriously? Should I just spray paint the password on the office wall or reconsider using Access?

I password protected my back end database so that the login credentials would be protected from wandering eyes. Now users can't use the front end to log in. Am I missing something here?

Great stuff. Thank you very much!

@isladogs - I have not. I'm not familiar with that. What does Ctrl+G do? Also, I tried your code that you provided in your article and it worked beautifully. I was able to reverse the code from another database. Very elegant. Thanks!

@June7 - I hide the ribbon, hide the navigation pane and disabled all Access close out buttons. How can I get to the module that contains my function? Can I still get to the VBA editor?

Okay. I realize this is probably a stupid question - but how do I get back in after the shift key bypass is disabled? What if I want to turn it off so that I can modify something?

Many thanks isladogs!

Thank you both very much!

I'm trying to disable the Shift Key Bypass functionality. I found the following methodology in an AI website. It seems simple enough but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? I want the autoexec macro to run even if the Shift key is held down. To disable the shift key bypass in Microsoft Access...

Nevermind. I found the issue. There was a problem with my eyesight.

I wrote a procedure to rename a file and place it in a new directory. I am using the NAME statement to do this. I keep getting a "File not found" error on the first record. I tried it with the destination directory being blank. I tried it with the destination directory having the same files as...

Thanks MajP. Works perfectly now!

I'm getting a type mismatch error in the following code on the "Set lstname = txt_CurrentListBox" line. I realize that lstname is an object (listbox) and txt_CurrentListBox is a textbox holding a string so the error makes sense. However, what can I do to use a variable for the listbox name so...

Pat - I wrote you a poem: If you said you were cold, I would wrap my arms around you. If you said you were thirsty, I would give you the ocean blue. I would give you anything: the moon, the stars, the sunset too. This heart in my hands I hold out to you.

Thank you all for your responses. GPGeorge - thanks for the explanation. It seemed to simple to be true.
