If the user cannot access the frmmain until they have entered a correct username and password then why have the need to enable a control. Why is it disabled in the first place?

Forms!frmmain!txttest.enable = true

The property is called "Enabled". You left off the "d".

Incidentally, DCrake didn't realise you only posted a conceptual code fragment.
Obviously you intend to include some kind of if statement to test the login and enable controls as appropriate for that user.

<script language="javascript">

function enableField()
{
document.form1.address2.disabled=false;
}

</script>

<a href="javascript:enableField()">Click here to enable the element<a/>

Make a table of Users. Include fields for UserID and SecurityLevel. A level of 1 might be administrator etc.

Lookup the SecurityLevel of the logged user and enable the textbox if they are at the right level.

If DLookUp("SecurityLevel", "tblUsers", "frmLogin.txtboxUser = tblUsers.UserID") = 1 then: Forms!Formname.thetextbox.enabled = true
