VB.Net/VS.Net Password Login

[Desi Bravo]

I created a password login following the address book application. The log in works great. The application is accessed through MS Access database. The following is the code to the password that is generated through the load page of the log in application. Dim UserName, Password As String If txtUserName.Text = "username" And txtPassword.Text = "password" Then MsgBox("Welcome, Username") txtUserName.Text = "" txtPassword.Text = "" ElseIf MsgBox("Sorry, your username or password entry is Invalid!")Then txtUsername.Text = "" txtPassword.Text = "" MsgBox("Try Again") txtUserName.Focus() Return txtUserName.Text = "username" And txtPassword.Text = "password") txtUserName.Focus() End If What I am looking for is a code that will allow the user change the password periodically. I have no idea how to generate a "change password" method. Can someone help in this area. The above log in code works good, is just that I like to add code to change the password.;) bravo659

Actually, with the code you have alreayd, you won't be able to change the username and password because it's hard-coded. You have to store the username and password in a table somewhere. Then you'll be able to code a method to change that username and password. Like you have it coded now, consider it impossible to change...

Thanks for your reply. Then I need to change the entire code to a connection in a database table in order to have the changes made, right? The only database I currently have is the Access database. Through that connection is how I need to create the table? bravo659

It can be created just like any other table in Access. Open the .MDB file your using by double-clicking on it. In Access, click on the "Tables" label, then click design. Add your username and password fields... ...hmmm...Have you used Access before? Any previous programming experience?

Yes, I do have Access programming experience and I also use the design view and the primary key. bravo659

Then you have everything you need to create the table using Access. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Thanks for your reply to my inquiries. It is helpful. All I ahve to do is shift the coding around until I get the correct code. Thanks Again!
