Changing Passwords
Hey I have a text box, which allows the user to enter a password to move to the next form. The password code is

Private Sub cmdEnterpassword_Click()
'check for correct password
If txtEnterpassword = "password" Then
'place code to here to pass the
'success to the calling sub
'setting a global var is the easiest
LoginSucceeded = True
Me.Hide
Form2.Show
txtEnterpassword = ""
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Password, try again!", , "Login"
txtEnterpassword.SetFocus
SendKeys "{Home}+{End}"
End If
End Sub

I would like a command button on the same sheet that would allow the user to change the password. I would like this to bring up the usual display

Enter current password
Enter new password
Re-Enter new password

Is this possiable

Thanks in advance

Hello guys

I am making a Policy Editing program which has a password in it. But I want to be able to change the password from within the program. Just by pressing a button and entering a new password. Does anybody have any suggestions or does anybody know how to do this?

Changing Passwords In Access Via DAO
OK Gurus, I need some help with this one.

First of all, I am creating an application in Access 97, which means the VBA I am using is from VB 5.0 (I think!)
The security on the database is user-level, meaning every user belongs to a group and has a login ID and password.

Within my app is an admin form so that users can change their passwords and admins can add users, reset users' passwords to a default value, etc. It is meant to be a trimmed down version of Access' own "User and Group Accounts" form (Tools -> Security -> ...), but without the groups part (the admins will not be able to add or remove groups).

On the admin form is a "Reset Password" button (similar to the "Clear Password" button in Access), with which admins will be able to (doh!!!) reset users' passwords. Unfortunately, the User object's "NewPassword" method (as in DBEngine(0).Groups("Users").Users("Joe").NewPassword) requires the user's old password as it's first agrument. Also, the User object's Password property is write-only; it does not return a value and it can only be used when creating a new user! As a result, it appears that an admin cannot reset a user's password without knowing the old password, which kind-of defeats the purpose of an single-click "Reset Password" button!!

I thought of writing a function that would simply delete and recreate the user (thereby getting access to the Password property), but this is inefficient because then the function would also have to re-add that user to any groups he or she may have belonged to, and his permissions, if any, would need to be reset for each and every object (table, form, macro, etc.) within the application. Also, with this method the admin would not be able to reset his own password without going trough the user-level "change password" form' (Access won't permit a logged-in user to delete his own account).

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Changing Passwords...(for One User!)
Hi everyone!

I am writing a program that currently only has one user. I want this user to be able to change his/her password. How do I do this?
I have a separate form with 2 editboxes, one for the old password, one for the new password. This is the code that i have used with no success: ("pass" is a global variable!)

If UCase(edtOld) = pass Then
pass = UCase(edtNew)
Else
MsgBox "Your old password doesn't match the existing password. Please try again", , "Incorrect Password"
edtOld.SetFocus
End If

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Thanx

Changing Local User's Passwords
I am trying to build an app that would allow a user to change the password for their local user account. I have the cusrmgr (sp?) add-on for the computer, but thats command line. I'm hoping for a dll of some sort that would allow me to change this information once a user enters their old and new password? anyone got any ideas?

Changing Local Passwords In A Windows Domain With A VB App
I wrote a program that I use to change the local Administrator or other local account passwords when needed. But all it is is a shell call to the Microsoft CUSRMGR.EXE application. I just pass it the switches i need and it creats a bat file and runs it. But i would like to know if there is a better way to accomplish this without using the shell command?
thanks for any help.

Hi i am trying to make a login in vb where you have to register. You type you desired user name and password then re enter your password and vb saves it in a procedure so when you click the command button it takes you to the next page which says details ok. then asks you to login in with your new username and password. when you type it it calls the procedure where you password is stored and checks what you typed against it. if it is correct it goes to the next page but i can't get the procedure to work it won't find it.
can anyone help.
Thanks

VBA, ADO, && Passwords
Hi all,

I think this may be my very first post here, but I visit often just to browse, and offer any help I can (but I'm a newbie, so I just stay out of it most of the time

Let me explain my project, then I'll ask my question. The idea is for my target workbook to display certain data from another workbook...a very large workbook. Since the workbook is so large, I don't want to use workbook.open(), and I don't want to use links either. The workbook I'm pulling the data from uses links....tons of links, thats why its so large. None of the links in that book are connected to the data I'm pulling, so, opening the workbook isn't neccessary for me.

I'm using some ADO code I found on the net ADO Link . This worked perfect! Only one problem...the workbook I'm pulling the data from is PW protected. You need a PW to open the workbook, and then you are prompted to open as read-only.

I used two test workbooks, once as a source workbook, which I saved, and closed with some dummy data. Then I put my code in my target workbook and tested it. Worked great...til...I PW protected my source workbook. Here is the error:

Code:
Microsoft Visual Basic

Run-Time Error '-2147467259 (80004005);:
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Could not decrypt file.
Is there a way I can pull data from the workbook w/o using the password, or is there a way I can code this to tell it the password.

Again, I'm avoiding workbook.open, I know you have the option of entering a password, and update links, and read-only - BUT, that workbook is wayyyy too big, takes too long to open, and its possible I'll have muliple users pulling data at the same time.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help, sorry so long

Hi again,

I have just managed to put a password control on my project. When the user enters correct pass, the next form is displayed. now i added a button which directs the user back to the main screen. If the user then decides to go to the form again, they must renter this password, however when password form is displayed it is greyed out and no txt can be entered onto the form.

Any ideas why?

Thanks guys

sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum

how do you link a database to an if statement for a password, to search

for example,

Private Sub cmdEnter_Click()
Dim Response As Integer

If txtPassword = txtPassword.Tag Then
MsgBox "You Have Passed Security", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Access Granted"
CustomerDetails.Show
Unload Me

Else
Response = MsgBox("Your Password Was Not Correct", vbRetryCancel + vbCritical, "Access Denied")
If Response = vbRetryCancel Then
Form2.Show
txtPassword.SetFocus

Else

End If
End If
End Sub

but i want to add an username and password to this, so that each user can have thier own login details,

how can i link the database to the text boxes to search for a set of login details

Two SQL Passwords
Hello all.

I am creating a little SQL utility that is going to run a quick query to update a field in a SQL database table if there is a date in it.

In our organization I found that there are two different passwords on our systems out in the field.

What my question is, how can I program the two passwords into my utility so that when it runs if it is not the first password, it will check the second one then run my update query.

If anyone can help with this I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks

Regarding Passwords
Hi,
I'm using Visual Basic 6.0(SP3) with Sql Server 7.0. I'm having a table similar to Master Database's Sysxlogins Table where i'm storing the same username and password from Master's Sysxlogins Table. In Visual Basic, when the user enters the username in a text box i want to
retrieve the password from that table and store it in a string variable. Here note that the user is not entering the password. The password in table is stored in varbinary datatype. If i retreived the password from table and assigned it to a variable it returns value ike "?]???????". I want the exact password string here for example if the password is "rahul" then i want "rahul" in the string variable. Is it possible?

Um... Passwords?
can anyone help me with my pasword program.

this is my code so far:

Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

    Dim strName As String
    Dim strPassword As String

    strName = Val(txtName.Text)

    strPassword = InputBox("Please enter your Password")

End Sub

This is nice a simple at the moment because when it comes to entering the password into the InputBox i can't get the letters to apear as stars...?

i know how to do it normaly (txtPassword.PasswordChar="*") but because the input box isn't avaliable to select so i can't apply it.?

any help would be most apreciated.
