Using MS Access - Password protect a form


Expert: Scottgem - 11/21/2006

Question
I want to password protect my form that allows edits and deletions.  Having a problem finding the best way to accomplish this............

Answer
the way I generally do things is to use function found here:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm

to capture the user's Network login. I then use code in ther ON Open event of the form, to turn AllowEdits and AllowDeletes on depending on the login ID. I use a Users table to determine access levels.
