Limit Login Attempts (1 Viewer)

[eugz]

hi All.

I create Login form and would like to limit enter wrong password no more then three times. How do it? I will appreciate for sample.

Thanks.

A word of advice: don't go crazy with all these common "safety"-features: restrictions on number of attempts, or the outright silly BS about lover/upper-case and numbers mix for passwords.

Access is not suitable to run the finances of a country anyways. Further, Access is mostly ran on a LAN where you vary seldom have access from general public.So think about this twice, before you bless your users with "safety"-features that everyone just curses.

Try this code on your login button.

intLoginAttempts = intLoginAttempts + 1

    If intLoginAttempts > 3 Then
    
   DoCmd.Quit
        MsgBox "You do not have access to this database.  Please contact your system administrator.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
        
    End If
