Hi i have the following code which i found and works well, however i have some forms on the switchboard that i only want certain people to access. There is a field in the table called level which is either set to manager, user, or admin.

If a user logs in and has a level of user he/she can only access certain forms if he tries to access a form which has a level of manager a warning pops up.. How can i do this??


Code:
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box

    If IsNull(Me.cboEmployee) Or Me.cboEmployee = "" Then
            MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
            Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If

'Check to see if data is entered into the password box

    If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then
            MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
            Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If

'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this matches value chosen in combo box

    If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("strEmpPassword", "tblEmployees", "[lngEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value) Then

        lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen
        
        DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
        DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSplash_Screen"

        Else
        MsgBox "Password Invalid.  Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!"
        Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
    End If
    
'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown
    
    intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
    If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then
        MsgBox "You do not have access to this database.  Please contact your system administrator.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
        Application.Quit
    End If
    
End Sub

many thanks

Brian
