User Access to System
Hello,
What would be the best approach to listing users and their access codes in a data system made in Excel. It would be nice to have this were the average user cannot see the list when system is in run-time. At this point I am only able to make the list on a worksheet and use VBA to hide rows & cols when file is opened. Have not played with Class Mods yet so not sure if that would work. Have used select case statements and maybe that is the best method but could get complicated if user list grows large. Your help is apprepriacted Thanks -- George G |

User Access to System
move data system to an Access .mdb backend
add table of users OR use an add-in - but this depends on your usage & deployment "Sgwapt" wrote: Hello, What would be the best approach to listing users and their access codes in a data system made in Excel.

User Access to System
Not sure this is what you are looking for... but I have a module that will
run at a certain point in runtime that uses ADO to write the user and other information to an Access database on a network server. Seems to work well.

User Access to System
Usage and deployment is not that large.
Right now there are 9 users that have access to the system. Some can enter data and other can create reports. There is one admin that can gain access to the entire system. All others can only perform via userforms and command buttons. If they use the X on any form it hides all sheets expect for one, a welcome sheet where they can either exit or restart without having to close & reopen. This is used on a network server so is there a way to have them use their logon and password on the nework to compare to?
