Hi Everyone,

I have created an Access Database and have the User-level
security working.

Is there a way I can create a simpler, more user-friendly
inputboxes that allow users to change their passwords
given their current login details, Instead of using the
ordinary, Tools|Security|User and Group accounts?

Thanks for your help!!!

Jacinto

Hi Jacinto,

Set up a form with three textboxes for old pwd, new pwd and verify. It's
then an easy matter to change the password with:
DBEngine(0).Users(CurrentUser()).NewPassword sOldPwd, sNewPwd

I've attached a textfile containing the definition for such a form, complete
with code. You can load it by saving it to your HDD and typing this in the
debug window:
LoadFromText acForm, "dlgChangePassword", "<path to file>"

Then, your click event simply needs to open the form:
DoCmd.OpenForm "dlgChangePassword", WindowMode:=acDialog
