Limit input based on username

[Guest]

I have a text box (which is a numerical field) on a form in which I would
like to limit input based on the user logged in. Is this possible? If it
is, how would I approach this? Thank you for any suggestions.

You can use CurrentUser to return the user name. Depending on how many
people you have, it might be simpler to do it by a security group.

In one of my applications, I load a menu form for Managers users and a basic
timesheet form for everyone else. On the menu form, I have a hidden
programmer menu at the bottom to switch AllowEditBypass on and off that I
make visible if I'm the CurrentUser:

In the OnOpen event of the form that opens in hidden mode when the
application loads:

Dim strFormName As String

'If user is a member of Managers, open Admin menu, otherwise open
Timesheet
If adhIsGroupMember("Managers") Then
strFormName = "Administrative Main Menu"
Else
strFormName = "Timesheet"
End If

DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm strFormName

In the OnOpen event of the Administrative Main Menu:

Dim ctl as Control
If CurrentUser() = "ksprinkel" Then
For Each ctl in Me.Controls
' Turn on programmer controls by its Tag property value
If ctl.Tag = "Programmer" Then
ctl.Visible = True
End If
Next ctl
End If

Hope that helps.
