Password protection for an individual form
 

Hi All,

I am creating a menu system within a form, one of the options is
Administration. Once selected this loads a subform with the admin options.

Does anyone now if it is possiable to put password protection on the admin
subform only thus keeping a general user away from the admin options?

Regards and Thanks

Mick

If you want to use Windows security (probably the best bet if you can), you
could simply check the username and determine what to do based on that:

MsgBox Environ$("username")

If you want to do your own password prompt, you'll have to create another
form that looks like a logon box (with PasswordChar property set to "*" for
the TextBox the user will type his/her password into). If you do this,
you'll want to lock your VBA project for viewing so that it's harder to get
to the password in your code.
