Is it possible to prevent uers from access if password is typed incorrectly
several times in Microsoft Access?

Thank you
 
Hi, Dalila.
Is it possible to prevent uers from access if password is typed incorrectly
several times in Microsoft Access?

Not when using the built-in user-level security or shared-level security,
because there's no count of attempts. Either the user is successful at
typing the correct user name and password, or he is not.

If you are using a "home grown" method of security, then the number of
unsuccessful tries could be recorded and used to immediately close the
database when the threshold is reached. However, any home grown security
solution is extremely unlikely to be as secure as the built-in security
(which has its own flaws), so the user will probably figure out how to get
into the database if he really wants to, only faster.

HTH.
