i have found a code that brings up a box when tab or clicking in to a box for editing as below:-
Dim strPassword As String
If InputBox("Please enter the password:") <> strPassword Then
SomeOtherControl.SetFocus
TextBox1.Locked = True
End If
its just that need to add a password as well, i have tried to put this in between the <> but this does not work. i would like a message to say incorrect password as well if possable.
Hi
I've got a button on a form that opens another form - nothing unusual, but it would be preferable if this second form was password protected i.e. the user clicks the button to open the form and is immediately prompted to enter a password. I've looked at user-level security wizards but that confused me even more.
The database is networked and is used by 25+ people by the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!
I managed to password protect my backend (as the backend is on a server and anybody could access it) so i have it password protected so only i can gain access to the data.
Now, when i try and access the backend from the front end, the frontend prompts me that the password is invalid (indicating its trying to enter the backend using no password, thus an invalid password warning appears. And this means nobody can access the data from the frontend)
Is there a way to get round this password issue from the frontend? I.e. have the password for the backend, but when you access the frontend, it doesnt need the password for the backend (i have my own username/password system to log on to my database)
I know there are different user level securities you can use, but im not familiar with this. So if you have an idea about this, then im all ears but keep in mind I don’t really know how the security levels work in Access (nor do i have the time to learn it in depth or even find help other than here)
Many thanks for your help

HI,
I have a MS access 2003 database (in MDB format) which I use as a basic accounts system for our company (15 user). I have certain tables password protected depending on user using the old workgroup information file. This presents a problem as anyone can copy the database without linking the Information file and effectively get full admin access. I was looking to upgrade to Access 2007 but I gather that there is a different security engine and also a new file format (accdb file). I know that you can keep the same user security settings when upgrading to 2007 (while keerping the mdp file extension) but would be interested to know if I can improve security using 2007 while also being able to retain user-level access to certain tables like in access 2003? The major weakness in my system at the moment is anybody can copy the MDB file to another PC and access everyting...it seems too easy a system to crack. Do I need to completely reprogram my database using MySql on MSSql? Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance,
Shane
I have a set of tables, one of which contains sensitive information, which i need to password protect.
I've been through the User Lever Security Wizard a few times but i can't seem to find a security group account which will allow data to be input into a form but also to deny access to the afore mentioned table.
Can anyone help?
Hello,
I designed and distributed a database client to a bunch of users. They have asked me to password-protect it so that anyone can open the database and view the forms, but a password is needed to actually make any updates. I am trying to do this, but everything in Tools--Security is making my head spin. I have actually already managed to somehow lock myself out of my own database, although I have another copy.
How do I set the Workgroup Administrator Files so that they apply to anyone? It wants to put a separate file on my C: drive, but I don't use this database, I distribute it to people who do. (The server is on a share drive, can I put the Workgroup file(s) there?)
What settings do I modify to require *anyone* to need a password to update? Or is that even possible? I don't really want to break up the users into different categories.
If anyone could walk me through this process I would really, really appreciate it.
Hey Guys, I have a whole login system that I have created in asp. Now I am trying to make it more secure, and to also let the user modify settings or retrieve forgotten login information. I am getting the following errors:
changedpassword.asp - http://www.nuflowtech.com/logintesting/members.asp
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/logintesting/scripts/changedpassword.asp, line 31
memberscheck1.asp - http://www.nuflowtech.com/logintesting/members1.asp
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e4d'
Not a valid password.
/logintesting/scripts/memberscheck1.asp, line 31
The pages are attached. If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what is wrong with the codes, I would apprecaite it. Thank you all for your help.

Hi,
Basically i have a single database with several tables in it. I want certain tables such as Ireland, UK, US etc to only be accessable by employees from those countries. Is this possible and if so, how?
I have looked at user/group permissions but can't figure out how to assign passwords to users etc.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

I have a combobox on a form which is populated from a field to present a list for the user to choose from.
I have limit list set to 'N'
When the user types something in the combobox that is not in the field in the table then I want to prompt for a password. Effectively password protecting the update of the field from a combobox.
If the password is correct the text is written to the field in the table and if not then not.
Help ?
I was using this form tutorial to password protect my administrative tools. When I went to run it I received this:
"User defined type not defined" and the line Dim rs As DAO.Recordset was highlighted.
I have little experience with VB and I was wondering if someone here had any idea if it was their code that was wrong, or if it was something I did...
I am displaying records from a table on a form line after line like a spreadsheet/data sheet.
I want to do 2 things.
When the user clicks anywhere on a new row to add data I want to populate that row with some data from the row above.
I also want to protect certain fields on each line (but not all lines!)
So basically if the user is presented with
old model number.....new model number..Added by.....date
123456...................77777777................. Fred..........15/10/2014 10:11:12
77777777..................8888.................... .John..........16/10/2014 12:12:12
8888..........................6767................ .....Jack..........16/10/2014 14:11:12
6767..........................4321................ ......Joe..........17/10/2014 10:11:12
I want to protect all of the 1st 3 rows and the old model number in the last row.
When they tab or click into the new row I want the old model number populated with the new model number.
I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.
I have recently split my database and added a password to the back end. I am now trying to re-link the tables as I have seen in other threads, but when I do this I am not prompted for the password I just get the message 'Not a valid password'
I must obviously be doing something wrong, can anyone help?
hi, i am currently working on a computing project using access 2003, and i am not very familiar with VBA.
At the moment, i have designed a simple logging-in form (with a function that checks the password typed in for a username (selected from a combo box) against the password value stored in a table
Is there a function in visual basic access where each time a user logs in, the date (and date) is recorded into the table where the user details and passwords are stored?
help would be much appreciated
Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

Hi,
I need some help creating a way for two different type of users to be redirected to different forms after entering a password.
I tried using the groups security in access but it's not good.
What I need the program to do is:
ask the user to enter a password. then if the password is correct and they are managers they will see the managers opening form ("form1") and if they are employees they will se a different opening form("form2") with less options and different reports.
thanks.
I have created a login form, with a user name and password. It works great. However I need to use the login form for three different command buttons, on my main access form. The same login form will be used but It will need to open three different forms depending on what command button was selected on the main page.
Main page- PID
3 command buttons- building, documents, assessments
login form- login
3 documents- build, docs,assess
I open main page, PID- click on buildings the login form pops up and I enter the correct username and password the building doc opens. Got it?? The same process for each, I would like to know how is this possible? How do I change the differnt documet that opends according to the command button that has been pushed? :confused: Thanks in advance
I have set up a front screen which has linked buttons to other forms.
When I open up some of the forms (using the buttons) I would like them to be password protected.
I know tihs is probably really easy, but I cant get it sussed!!
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

I am looking to ensure the user enters a complex password, in the add user form. Therefore, the password should be >8 characters, 2 numbers, 1 Ucase min, 1 Lcase min and some form of punctuation. I found this code:
unction ValidatePassword(ByVal pwd As String,
Optional ByVal minLength As Integer = 8,
Optional ByVal numUpper As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numLower As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numNumbers As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numSpecial As Integer = 2) As Boolean
[Code] ....
but obviously this doesn't work in access. How can i either change it to work for microsoft access, or how would i go about developing it. What would the code be?
I have written the following code on a command button to set up a basic password for deleting current record. What I really want to do is hide the password being typed into the input box with asterix's. Here is the current code and password:
Private Sub Toggle33_Click()
Dim strPasswd
strPasswd = InputBox("Enter Password", "Restricted Form")
If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then
MsgBox "No Input Provided", vbInformation, "Required Data"
[Code] ....
I have an error message or debug message in my code in username & password log in.. it has an error in if else statement
empname is a cobobox
empass is a txtbox
logempID is a autonum I.D
usrnmpass is a table name
there's an specific record in a table of usrnmpass showing in the attachment
this is my code....
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If IsNull(empname) Or empname = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
empname.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
[code]....
Hello all,
I have got two questions i would like to ask y'all.
1. I have created a data input form that feeds directly into a table is there any way i can protect that table so it can only be viewed by me but the form will still be able to feed in it. Something like a password system would be excellent, i know you can hide the database window and stuff like that but its not to hard to get round.
2. What are the chances of me being able to convert my form into a web page? i know you can create pretty decent web pages with it as it is but i would just love to drag my form onto a web page (Very unlikely but worth a try).
Any help with either of the above will be greatly apreciated.
Cheers

Hi There,
We have a fairly basic contact db at work which we use for incoming enquiries. Users need to be able to make ammendments to one particular field "Comments" after they have spoke to or received a call from someone. What I want to do is protect all the other fields in the table so a user cannot change any data by accident but can still input data into the "Comments" field. Is there a simple means of protecting the other fields, leaving "Comments" avilable for edit???
Regards

I have developed an application which I want to keep safe from being tampered with by user.s So once a .mdb database application has been developed what is the best way to then distribute the application to a client (customer who has paid for the application) so that the application can't then be tampered with ?
Cheers
