User authentication in Windows Forms
-
Hello everyone, I am a newbie and I am hoping that you all can help me with a little trouble I am having. I have a VB.NET CRM application that I am writing for my company. I am using a MySQL database to hold all of the data. The app is a windows form application which will be installed on everyone's computer in the office. I need to be able to authenticate the user from a list of users in a db table (which I can do no problem) but I am getting stuck on how I can keep the user's logged in status so that I can record (in another database table) the actions they perform in the system. I appreciate any and all help and advice that you can give me on how to do this. Have a great day. Sincerely, Robert W. Dempsey

hey i dont know if your still having the problem with keeping track of a user's logged in status but a simple way would be to create a loggedin field on the end of the user's record and when they login set that field equal to 1 and when they log out set it to 0
