A user recently showed me a problem he was having. We're using a split database with user-level security and this guy was changing his password for a new one that contained two capital letters in the beginning (e.g. ABcdef). Access wouldn't give any error messages but when trying to logon back this password wouldn't work! when trying the old password, he realized that Access hadn't changed his password at all!

If you use only one capital letter (the first letter), this doesn't happen.

Anyone has experienced something like that before?

It sound to me like there may be some type of formating being applied.
First letter upper case, all letters after lower case. Maybe.
Can you check the code?

I checked and there's no formatting being applied. That user is using MS Access 2003 to open an MS Access 2000 database... could that be the cause of this problem? I haven't heard complaints from any other user.

I wish I could be of help, but I'm lost.
Hopefully someone else can answer this one.
