THX MATE .FAST RESPONSE.BUT HOW DO I GET IT TO HIDE COMMAND BUTTONS IN OTHER FORMS.FOR INSTANCE ONE CALLED "ADD" IN FORM CALLED "CUSTOMER"

 

[JohnYingling]

Easiest.
Define a Public boolean in a standard module to indicate that buttuns should be hidden. Access the boolean in the Form_Load event of each form.
' Declarations of MyCommon.Bas
Public gblnPasOk As Boolean
' My Form
Private Form_load()
cmdButton.Visible = blnPassOK
End Sub

There is an alternative to JohnYingling's method:

from the form you input the password on you can hide the buttons you want
ex:
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
Form2.cmdAdd.visible=false
end sub

cmdOK is your button for checking the password and form2 is the form with the button you want to hide: cmdAdd is the button you are hiding

just a little example to help you on your way
