Can anyone coach me in a custom log-in screen? I have a table set up
with users and a password. I don't need high-level security, just the
ability to recognize the stored user without API calls and genuine
MS-Access security (just don't want to implement workgroups at this
time). So basically the user sign in form would authenticate the user
and password (IF - Then) and store that value in a hidden form that
would remain open but invisible. Then I could reference the
Forms!Logon!Tex tbox value stored (but if I have multiple users that's a
problem (?)). What I ultimately want the stored value to do is allow me
to pass it into some queries for filtering reports and displays.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You've pretty much described the whole thing and no, multple users would not be
a problem. What part of what you've outlined above are you having problems
with?

Use DLookup() to test the UserName and Password entered.

Use Me.Visible = False to hide the form.

that's not a problem. since the form is not bound to a table,
the value in one instance of access is invisible to the other
instances of access.

What I ultimately want the stored value

to do is allow me to pass it into some queries for filtering
reports and displays. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I create an unbound form that contains several labels and one
button. The form is on a timer that opens the main menu form and
makes the welcome form invisible, then sets the timer interval
to 0. The button just executes the On timer event.

I load several pieces of data into the labels' caption
properties in the startup code, such as the machine ID and User
name. The welcome form will show "Good morning, Parasyke" and "
Welcome to the Whatchemecallit database"

Just use the login form and make it invisible after the user has
passed the login password test you create.
