[WalfdPD]

I want to allow only certain users to access a form
What I would like to do is protect the form with a simple password setup (user and password). No publication i have shows how to do it and I can't find anthing in VB.net help to direct me.

Just create a simple form that allows a user to type a password into a password box. If they type in the right password show the form else don't!

Here's an idea -

Create a table (on an SQL server if you have one) and just have a couple of fields in it (username and password).
Create a form with a couple of text boxes and use their input to validate against the data in the table.

Alternatively, use the network logon id and groups to validate access
