I dont think using an InputBox is a very good method. You will need to make a login form.

This is the Visual Studio forum for the Visual Studio IDE ... not the languages it supports ... your looking for the VB forum which is a few links up ;)
He's already cross posted in the VB forum, I think.

It is pretty straightforward. No different than any other form.

Well, you start with textboxes for the username and password. The textbox for the password, use the
PasswordCharproperty to asterisk out the characters being entered. Then, you have your buttons for accept or cancel. I hope this is a start for you :)"Real programmers just throw a bunch of 1s and 0s at the computer to see what sticks" - Pete O'Hanlon
