Secretery Trick (1 Viewer)

Here is a trick I like to call "Secretery Trick" because this is exactly what it is

Have you tried coding a security module for MS Access ?

What's a security module about ?

Exactly , Authentication and Logging Events .

How often do you use time stamps in logging your events .. ok nevermind silly question

Do you log signing in to your system ?

Would you search your VBA Project for function "NOW()" ? How many occurances ?

Would you search your tables for default values you assign for dates ?

Please review the code to your login form one more time cause here is a way to stealthly sign in despite all your defences

Navagate to Control Panel >> Regional and language settings >> customize >> Time >> AM / PM Symbols

Now enter any invalied charachters ex : هاى .

Noticed anything ? Yes windows Current Time is holding a format such as :
13/10/2008 01:01:01 هاى

So windows managed to approve it , what about your database time stamp field ?

Would the application hints you that a record violation has occured and then continue smoothly without logging your sign in ?

But why ! Shouldnt Microsoft Access generate a runtime error and halt ?

MS Access , Cheers

(Ok Ok i know how to solve this issue perfectly , yet its just for demo purposes only )
