User Name Password Coding 1

[itmasterw]

I have wrote the code here, that works to ask a user to enter a user name and password, but I would like to set a limit to only alow the user to try 4 times and then be sent back to the main form. Everyhting I have tried so far doesnt work. Any Ideas I would apperaciate.

use a static integer and increment it by 1 every time that there is a login attempt made. when the integer hit's the limit that you want then send it back to the form.

Yeh, I agree with DirectDrive. I wrote this before I read Direct's post but you may as well see if it's useful for you.


Public ipwdCount As Integer


Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()

If ipwdCount < 4 Then
ipwdCount = ipwdCount + 1
'Process Logon Here
Else
Unload Me
'Run cancel code
End If

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

ipwdCount = 0

End Sub

Thanks I never used a static integer before, but I will look it up try it. Thank you

Oh I forgot to add, put all the code in the code for your logon form and the public variable will be reloaded and set to 1 everytime you load the form.

Thanks these are all great ideas and I learned a few more things form your help. I did get to work.
Thank You for the help.
