Need some wisdom.. ;) I got code behind buttons on my main switchboard form to enable passwords on the buttons.. I use the following code...
Private Sub Option2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Option2_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim Password1
Password1 = InputBox("Please Type the Password", "Password Prompt")
If Password1 = "password" Then
stDocName = "Main Form"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Else
End If
Exit Sub
Exit_Option2_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Option2_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Option2_Click
End Sub
My issue is that I need to mask the password, I know if it can be done by other methods, such as creating an inputbox on main form and setting the input mask property to Password and useing the button to make this visible.. etc.. However, a little bit of a mess.. the above code is simple and straight forward.. Is there any VB code that I can enter for an input mask for the inputbox :confused:

I have a form based on a table where social security numbers are entered. I would like to enter a social security number on the form and once it's entered the first 5 digits are masked. When I go to the table I would like to see the complete social security number displayed. Is this possible? Can the control source on the form be formatted to hide the existing social security numbers as well so they don't have to be rekeyed with the new format?
Is it possible to mask data in a report? I have a report that contains a field for an ID number. Depending upon who is receiving the report only a partial ID number can be shown.
Example: Instead of showing ID#: 123456 the report can only show ***456.
I have recently split my database and added a password to the back end. I am now trying to re-link the tables as I have seen in other threads, but when I do this I am not prompted for the password I just get the message 'Not a valid password'
I must obviously be doing something wrong, can anyone help?
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password. It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
i have found a code that brings up a box when tab or clicking in to a box for editing as below:-
Dim strPassword As String If InputBox("Please enter the password:") <> strPassword Then SomeOtherControl.SetFocus TextBox1.Locked = True End If

Firsty i am a novice to Databases so i only really know the basics, heres my problem.

In my database I've two diferents forms but I want one of them to be accessed only for few users where they have to type username and passaword. Is anyone there could tell me how can I do that please? Thanks
I don't realy know how to explain this but a college of mine has done something to her Access settings, whenever she tries to open a database it asks her for a User login password.
The prompt is a box with
Name: Centre Manager Password:
If she types Centre Manager in the password box then it lets her in as normal. Everyone else can just access the databases without being prompted for a password.
A password to one of my MDB files has been changed for some reason and I need to get access to it. Does anyone know of a freeware program that I can get to gain access to it? Your help is appreciated.

I'm creating a data access page that can be used over the internet to add information into the database. The database is password protected. The functionality currently is that when a user accesses the data access page, they need the database password in order to submit information. We don't have a small number of users and giving all these people the password to the database would comprimise the security of the system.
I am looking for a functionality such that the people that edit the database, either by the front end application or by opening the database directly to be password protected. But the data access page not to be.
Any ideas on how I can achieve this functionality?

I have successfully created a user id & password prompt which works excellently.
The database i have created has three forms inwhich two departments access. I have an issue where one department is only allowed to view a search screen and the other department is allowed to enter in information and search. I also have a section for managers to login and run reports.
In my userid & password table i have created and field called Level which includes: Administrator, Manager, Bookings,User
Admin - Full Access Managers - Full Access - But not able to edit queries and tables Bookings - Order Form, Search Form User - Search Form
Here is the code i have used:
Login OK Button:-
Private Sub login_Click()
If txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblAccess", "[UserId] = txtUser.Value") Then CheckFlag DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmUserLogon" Else MsgBox "INCORRECT PASSWORD! Please try again" End If
End Sub
Module1: Option Compare Database Public Flag As Integer '1: Reports Opener 2:Log 3:OpenUKSupplier
Function CheckFlag() Select Case Flag Case 1 DoCmd.OpenForm "frmReports Menu"
Case 2 DoCmd.OpenForm "frmbooking" Case 3 DoCmd.OpenForm "Frmsearch" Case Else 'Should never be here
End Select End Function
Where would i add the code to the module or to the event?
Hi, I have secured my db with password. I want to know the technique/technology so that i can read my password. Access must be storing the password in an encrypted form in any password file. My idea is that if I know the file where its stored and in what form then I hope it can be retrieved. I find so many available sites who claims that they have their product which is able to retrieve access db passowrd. I want to learn on how to do the same. Any idea or suggestions is highly appreciated. Thanks.
I have been working on some database protection techniques and have found floors in all of them.
Basically I have to protect a database not using the application password... which has a different password for each form. This means using form passwords ect... but all of them can be hacked by using the shift key on start-up does anyone know how to get around this as im stuck and could really do with another’s perspective.
Every time I open up access I get a logon box which asks for the admin password. This applies to any database project I open. I for the life of me can't figure out how it was turned on, but it still has the generic password associated with it(thank god).
I am trying to rid myself of having to type it in every single time I open up a database project. I have tried to delete it in the security section of tools and it won't allow me to delete the admin.
This is incredibly annoying because neither of the database projects requires a password, and I am not even the one that created the projects. I am merely a user.
Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this annoying problem?
I have a password textbox on a form. As the user types in his password I want the textbox to display the '*' symbol, just like on any log in page. How do I do this?
