Sorry about that. You are correct. @DHookom - Thank you!

@theDBguy & @June7 - Fascinating. I've developed many Access reports over many years and I never had to do that before. But it worked. Thanks!

I have a main report which consists of 3 subreports. The top (main) report and the bottom subreport are fine. But the 2 in the middle just consist of white space if no data is present. I've already: Placed "Cancel = True" on the On No Data events Checked "Can Shrink = true" in every aspect of...

I definitely wouldn't use Word. However, it may have been in the original internet post. I'm using WIndows 11.

@cheekybuddha - Congratulations to you for having Superman eyes! I changed the quotes and now all is working as it should. Thank you.

@cheekybuddha - I copied it into Notepad before pasting. Amazing that you caught that. I'm going to change those, test it and post back. Thanks!

@isladogs - I tried it this morning with fresh eyes and it works perfectly. Thank you very much for this! I really appreciate your help. Exactly what I wanted to do.

I unblocked the app. I saved to a trusted location. I'm not getting any error messages so I don't think there are any broken references. The version info is below:

@isladogs - I created myself as a new user but the login button is disabled so after I create my password I'm stuck. What am I doing wrong?

@GPGeorge - I appreciate the time you've taken on this. We're not communicating effectively and it certainly may be my fault. I'm not trying to protect anything in my application. That would be a completely different conversation. My problem is far simpler than your analogy suggests. I simply...

Your assumption is correct. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I just want to encrypt the password table. I've been looking for a way to accomplish that. Many people in this post have directed me to helpful examples but unfortunately none of them, so far, seem to work. I have the .NET...

The What: User Passwords The Who: Anyone The How: Looking at them in a table I'm just trying to encrypt the passwords so that they don't appear in plain text.

In what context would it be acceptable for anyone to see users' passwords?

I verified that I do have the .NET Framework 3.5 control and the two Windows Communication Foundation sub controls selected and installed. According to the articles I've read this was supposed to solve my problem. No luck though. Thank you everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. If I...

@GPGeorge: The "degree of security required" is always the same when it comes to passwords. It can only differ when it concerns other data. @isladogs - I'm not sure what .NET framework I'm working with. I'm trying to find that out now. But DBGuy's function gives me an Object Required error...

see attached document I found on an AI website

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...
