Username/Password

[mlamont]

Does anybody know how to create a proper username/password pop up box that doesn't need to look into a table for the values. I want a username/pop up box to come up when a user hits a particular button.

Cheers,

Mike

Where would you like to store the information?

I always store them in a table encoded by some algorithm that I write in code.

You could hard code your user names and passwords like

if txtUser <> "Fred Flintstone" then
'code for no entry
else
'code for entry
end if

...you know, but this approach might prove difficult because it's hard to maintain, meaning that in the probable case where you need to enter a new user you would have to code it the same way...

...I think.

What is the point of a logon that does not compare the userid to some stored (in a table) value? The user could just type anything and you couldn't verify it.
