Can someone help me with this. I want to create a login form that pops up
when you try to enter a form I want to protect, I created the form, but do
not know how to get it to pop up when I try to enter the form I want to
protect. The form i want protected is called Maintenance Switchboard. This
form also has other buttons that opens other forms. Can anyone help me with
this.

Thanks,
Ron
 
Hi Ron,

Look Up InputBox Function in the Visual Basic of a form

There is an example of enteing a number. You could change it to show a
password
then do a if statament to check if valid. if not throw them out.

Hope this helps
 
You can have a login form for the app that stores 1 record in a local table
for user ID & password. Set the Enabled property of the command button that
calls your Mx form depending on the value of that record.

Another method, perhaps simpler, is just to have a different front end app
(with less menus & forms) for restricted users. It can be linked to the
same back end data tables, but this "crippled" version can have a
combination of non-visible, disabled, read-only, etc controls/forms.
