I dont think it is possible, but I have someone who would like to put a password or some type of security on a form in a database. Anyone know if it is possible? Thanks.
 
you can do this on the form open action

dim StrPassword as string

strpassword = inputbox("What's the password?")

if strpassword <> &quot;Your Password&quot; then
DoCmd.Close acForm &quot;YourForm&quot;
end if

let me know if it helps &quot;The greatest risk, is not taking one.&quot;
 
You can password protect your database but not individual forms. Take a close look at access security which will allow you to both block and give permission to all objects within the database. Robert Berman

using Access built in security it is possible to only allow certain users to access a particular form
