Change Password

[Guest]

I have password for each user on a system. The password is written in a
table and I would like each user to change their passwords. I have written a
form when the user can enter his name then his password and a new password.
I don't how to confirm his new password. I think I must write VBA codes but
don't know how to write this confirmation message where he must re-enter his
password.

Can somebody help me.
Thanks,
Danie

Access (and in fact Windows) data is not normally case sensitive. You can
change that with a module declaration of Option Compare Binary, so create a
new standard module which you can call something like basPassword. Then
write something like this (aircode):

Option Compare Binary

Public Function TestPword(strP1 As String, strP2 As String) As Boolean
If strP1 = strP2 Then
TestPword = True
Else
TestPword = False
End If
End Function

Assuming that your table lookups have passed, you can test like:

If TestPword([FirstTextbox],[SecondTextBox]) = True Then
' Do something
Else
MsgBox "Passwords not the same, try again", vbOKOnly, "Password Error"
End If

Hi Arvin,

How do I ask to confirm the new password once they have entered the new one.

The info I have on my form is :

Name .....................
Password ...............
New Password ................ Once they enter the New Password I must ask
them to confirm. Thanks for your help.

Hi Arvin,

How do I ask to confirm the new password once they have entered the new
one.

The info I have on my form is :

Name .....................
Password ...............
New Password ................ Once they enter the New Password I must ask
them to confirm.

In the AfterUpdate event of the new password textbox control, you can ask,
but just providing a second textbox to confirm is usually all that is
necessary. If they don't match, (and they won't unless it is entered) they
will be prompted.
