Hi all,
I would like to create a simple login system for my db whereby users differentiated by approvers (people who approve PO forms) or preparers (people who prepare PO forms). The problem is, I do not know where to carry on after creating the form for login. How do I go about doing it? I have seen some samples but I do not really understand the code. Hope that someone will be able to guide me along. Thanks a million.
Regards,
Swee
Im not that expert in access programming, still have some more learning to do. anyway, my goal is to make a simple login form with a database of its users. How do I code it. The structure of my form is it has 2 unbound txtbox and 1 command button. A user will input its username and password then when the command button is clicked it will validate the user table if the data encoded is in the database. Thanks hope u can help me.

I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
I have a ms access application in Front End and linked tables to sql server 2008 r2 in back end.. every time I open my application the linked tables ask to me for the user and password of the sql server user of the odbc conection. I want to connect to my sql database without login every time the user open the application, I know that can be possible if I start session from vba code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have access 2010, I currently have a database in place and operational. What I am wondering is there a way to have a form come up whenever someone opens access and asks for a password and login name. Also I would like to have a 2 tier system. One for Admins and the other for users with limited access.
Is this even possible to accomplish?
Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?
On my login form, after the user enters the username and password he will have to go manually using the mouse to point at the Enter command button, is it possible to make in a way that after the user enters the password and hit enter proceeds as clicking on the enter command button

I am still learning Access and coding so I am not sure exactly what everything means yet.
At the moment i have a straight forward login form, were if the username matches to the password the user can log in otherwise they cannot. However i need a login based on access rights. For example if a user A log in he is the administrator and has access to all the tables, to be able to synchronise, add/delete records. However if it is user B they can only read thad inforation form the datasbase.
one way i was thinking was about trying to enable and disable certain command buttons on a form. If the users is not admin to disable the add button etc.
Has anybody got any other ideas, or do u think this is suitable, or any examples of login screens
Hi all
I downloaded the attached free login script from somewhere. I configured it so that it points to my website index page after validation.
I've added another field in the database called delegation. An admin delegation would point to a separate index page with admin options allowing the user extra privelleges. I'd like to add a few more lines of code to the check_user.asp page to allow this. Any ideas. I appreciate any help.

I have finished the database application, and now want to make a user login for specific users to run the application (but not to change the internal desgin or data).
How can it be done ?
Do I need to split the database first before doing that ? :confused:
How do you set up a login screen (not the standard Database Password) within MS Access 2000
(So that a username and password must be input before opening the database)
Hi.. Been trying to work this out for a little while now. I run an IT workshop for adults with learning issues and although my other office skils are pretty good, my Access skills are a little lacking.
My clients login and out on paper at the moment but I would like to change this to a database type system. The entries would only be name and an automatic one to record actual time of login.
Can anybody help me with the automatic entries?
Many thanks

Hello,
I use Environ("Username") all the time, most frequently for logging who has done something to a record, and have once used it to log people into the database (very basic, much the same as logging who did what to records).
But I was wondering, how feasible is it as a security measure?
I often use it on the main menu of my DBs to give me a different menu (with more advanced options on) than other users.
Is it really that safe to use it as a means to allow people in, or stopping them? I know that obviously you have to stop them getting in other ways (holding shift for example), but assuming all of that is done, in theory, they should only be able to get in if they can log in as an authorised user?
Don't know why it is just struck me - just curious I suppose!
Hi,
I need to capture the windows user name who modifies the data in the form/table, is there a function or command to capture it in access 2007 ?
Thanks for the help

Dear all,
I have an application includes one table "info" and two forms "frmlogin" & "frmwelcome".
The table "info" contains many columns, two of them are [UserName] and [PassWord]. This table is filled with three records. "frmlogin" form contains two text boxes and one button. I want the user to enter user name and the password in those two text boxes, and when clicking the button, I want the application if that user is registered or no. If yes, he/she will be moved to the "frmwelcom", that display "Welcome [UserName]".
I did it, but I don't know where my error is.
See the attached file.
Sorry for bothering you.
Thanks & Regards

How can I create a login form in Access to track user's input and the date and time of the input. I need to be able to see who entered specific information into the main form. On my main form I have a button to open a query and send that information to a text file but I would like the information to sent to the text file tab delimited. So far I have only been able to get it to go into the text file with comas to separate the columns. Any ideas on how to do these two things?
Thanks
Hi there
Im having a few problems trying to get my login form to function properly. I have created a username and login form.
- created 2 unbound text boxes with user and password
- created a button that performs the function of calling the username and password based on whether the user enters the password correctly.
When you input the password it continue to prompt you to enter the password when it is the correct password.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks

Hi,
Before we start - I'm a web dev / sql server grunt. I don't have much experience with access.
We've just performed our PC roll-over and we've moved from Access 2000 to 2003. We have alot of DB's around and some of which have *.mdw's. After the rollover was complete I've gone to the required computers and from ther 'Joined' the work group through the work group administration tool. This allowes the users into the required DB via the correct login.
HOWEVER.... drum roll.
No other databases which don't have any workgroups or logins are displaying the same login from my first DB. Entering the log and pass from the first database will then let you into this unrelated DB.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Thanks for reading

I really need some help guys.
For some reason Access always asks for a login/password even if the database isn't protected. Even when I start a brand new database the prompt comes up. Any ideas as to how to get rid of this.:confused:

Hi all,
I've had a quick search but couldn't find the answer to this.
Is there a way that when a user launches the application via my workgroup file, the default login name is always null?
Currently it retains the last users' login name.
Thanks

Hi,
I have created the following code to use on a login screen but when used under a runtime environment causes runtime error and is giving me a headache.
CODE:
Private Sub Command7_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command7_Click
Dim Value As Variant
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings (WarningsOff)
Value = DLookup("[ID]", "Tbl_users", "[ID] = '" & Forms![Frm_login]![User ID] & "' and [Password] = '" & Forms![Frm_login]![Password] & "'")
If Value = Forms![Frm_login]![User ID] Then
stDocName = "Frm_main_menu"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Qry_know_logged_in_users"
stLinkCriteria = "[ID]=" & "'" & Me![User ID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![Frm_login].Visible = False
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_login_error"
End If
Exit_Command7_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command7_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command7_Click
End Sub
Can anyone see where I am going wrong here?
Many thanks! Your all stars!
