VBA Help!

Hi,

I created a database for the HR department, however it contains personal information. I am trying to write VBA code that will only allow certain users certain access. Someone emailed me some coding and I really need help understanding it. The logic is that he created two tables that stores user's network names and ID numbers. The VBA code validates whether a person has access to certain tables and etc based on their network name and ID number. See below message for more info. Thanks.


Table 1 (tblAccess)
Columns:
Id
Networkname
Tablename
Read_write

Tbale 2 (tblAdmins)
Column:
networkname


Functions in VBA:
Public Function CheckAdmins() As Boolean
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim c As String

If Not ConnectProductionDatabase() Then
MsgBox "Issue with connecting to the database"
Exit Function
End If

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
c = "select count(id) as ADMINS from tblAdmins where NetworkName = '" &
GetUserName & "';"
rs.ActiveConnection = conn
rs.Source = c
rs.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rs.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
rs.Open
CheckAdmins = False
If rs!ADMINS = 1 Then
CheckAdmins = True
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

End Function

Above checks to see if user is authorized administrative privileges within the
database

Below captures network ids

Function GetUserName()

Const lpnLength As Integer = 255

Dim STATUS As Integer

Dim lpName, lpUserName As String

lpUserName = Space$(lpnLength + 1)

STATUS = WNetGetUser(lpName, lpUserName, lpnLength)

If STATUS = NoError Then
lpUserName = Left$(lpUserName, InStr(lpUserName, Chr(0)) - 1)
Else
MsgBox "Unable to get the name."
end
End If
GetUserName = lpUserName

End Function

Unhideit allows admin into back end of Access

Public Function UnHideIt()
If IsDisableShift Then
If MsgBox("Do you want to Enable Shift", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
ap_EnableShift
End If
End If
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "tblxxx", True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowUnhide
End Function

HideIt blocks users from getting to access objects forcing them to only be in
the Forms from a driven menu

Public Function HideIt()
ap_DisableShift
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "tblxxx", True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
End Function

mjohnson1105, the code looks alright..

BUT my question is, what do you want? You have shown what you have, but you have not made clear of what you are after.. Are you asking for CODE opinion, or is something not working?

PS: Please use Code Tags when posting VBA Code

pr2-eugin,

Okay, I will make a note of using the code tags.

I would like to understand the code so that I can create the tables and implement the code. I am new to VBA so I don't quite understand the coding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
