Prevent Same User from logging in more than once

[Tony_VBACoder]

With my Access 2002 secured application (split front
end/back end), how can I prevent the same user from
logging into the application more than 1 time? Is there
some setting in the User Permissions area that I need to
set on the user? Can this be done with the Access built
in Logon screen that appears prompting for a UserName and
Password, or do I have to do this somewhere in my Front
End database initialization process?

Hi,

You will have to build that function yourself.

Ideas:
- Create a table that stores the number of times a user signs in
- In your FrontEnd application write a routine that reads and updates that
table
