Choose Form that Loads Based on Login

I received some great help here and I am trying to do a few more things now.
I have the Access 2007 Bible, which is great, but is doesn’t seem to answer
my questions so I have returned here once again. Just yesterday I got some
help with the code below (with modifications…which causes it to not work):

'Private Sub cboEmployee_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Private Sub cboEmployee_AfterUpdate()
'After selecting user name set focus to password field
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End Sub
'End Sub
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box

If IsNull(Me.cboEmployee) Or Me.cboEmployee = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check to see if data is entered into the password box

If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this
'matches value chosen in combo box

'Remeber: Login is a text field and that you really want to get the
'Password returned by Dlookup. You need to surround the value of
'CboEmployee with quote marks so it is treated as a string.


If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & "[Level]=Director" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """") Then

lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDirector"

If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & "[Level]=RVP" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """") Then

lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRVP"

Else
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, _
"Invalid Entry!"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End If
End If

'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown

intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this database.Please contact
admin.", _
vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
Application.Quit
End If

End Sub


I am now trying to figure out how to modify this slightly to check the Table
tblLogin for the individual’s Login name and the person’s password, and then
if the individual is a ‘Director’ open one Form (frm Director) and if the
individual is an ‘RVP’ open another Form (frmRVP). The individual’s level
comes from a field named ‘Level’. The code, as it is now, doesn’t do
anything; not error, just nothing.

I’d really appreciate any help on this.


Thanks,

Here is how I would do it. It doesn't require a command button.

Don't bother to set the focus to txtPassword, just make it the next control
in the tab order.
Notice I do the password checking in the password control's before update
event.

I also see some inconsistency as to the data type of the employee in the
Login field.
Your original code was addressing it as if it is text, but also in your code
I see you assign it to a variable with a name that makes it appear is if it
is numeric. the code below is expecting it to be text. If it is not,
changes will be required. Also, be aware this is all air code and will
probably have syntax errors to iron out.


Private Sub txtPassword_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Cancel = True
Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

If Me.txtPassword & vbNullString = vbNullString Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbExclamation + _
vbOKOnly, "Required Data"

lngRetrys = lngRetrys + 1

Thanks for the suggestions Dave, but I really don't understand this code very
well. What you gave me didn't work, and I don't even know why.

I am much more comfortable working with Excel and I am working with Access.
The project that I am working on now is not going to fit into a 2D Excel
format, so I am leveraging what I know about Access (which is a little, but
only a little), and just trying to resolve a few issues in my office. Isn't
there a way of using the original VBA syntax that I had before, modifying it
just a little, and getting the macro to search for the Login in name as well
as the individual’s 'Level', and then open the appropriate Form? I'd like to
stick pretty close to the original code. I'll fiddle with it a little more
and try to make it work. If you have any ideas in the meantime, Dave, please
do post back.

It appears the code you posted wouldn't work at all. As I said before, it
may have issues because I wrote the code in the message editor. It is late
today, but I do have something similar I can tweak using your names and send
it to you tomorrow.

Thanks in advance Dave! I am hoping to get this part working soon, because
there are a couple more, smaller, issues that I am trying to resolve too, and
it is a lot to juggle all at once. One of my main objectives here is to
learn, and ultimately, when I know my way around Access, I plan to help
others as you have melped me.

Regards,
Ryan--

PS, any additional thoughts on that other question about passing variables
or parameters?

:

I received some great help here and I am trying to do a few more things now.
I have the Access 2007 Bible, which is great, but is doesn’t seem to answer
my questions so I have returned here once again. Just yesterday I got some
help with the code below (with modifications…which causes it to not work):

'Private Sub cboEmployee_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Private Sub cboEmployee_AfterUpdate()
'After selecting user name set focus to password field
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End Sub
'End Sub
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box

If IsNull(Me.cboEmployee) Or Me.cboEmployee = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check to see if data is entered into the password box

If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this
'matches value chosen in combo box

'Remeber: Login is a text field and that you really want to get the
'Password returned by Dlookup. You need to surround the value of
'CboEmployee with quote marks so it is treated as a string.


If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & "[Level]=Director" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """") Then

lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDirector"

If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & "[Level]=RVP" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """") Then

lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRVP"

Else
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, _
"Invalid Entry!"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End If
End If

'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown

intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this database.Please contact
admin.", _
vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
Application.Quit
End If

End Sub


I am now trying to figure out how to modify this slightly to check the Table
tblLogin for the individual’s Login name and the person’s password, and then
if the individual is a ‘Director’ open one Form (frm Director) and if the
individual is an ‘RVP’ open another Form (frmRVP). The individual’s level
comes from a field named ‘Level’. The code, as it is now, doesn’t do
anything; not error, just nothing.

I’d really appreciate any help on this.


Thanks,

Try the following If Me.txtPassword.Value = _
DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """ AND [Level]=""Director""") Then

The last argument to the DLookup must be a valid WHERE string without the word
WHERE at the beginning. Also, if DLookup doesn't find a match, then it
returns NULL

Thanks John!! That did it!! Also, thank you Dave!!

Final version looks like this:
If Me.txtPassword.Value = _
DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """ AND [Level]=""Director""")
Then
lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDirector"

Else
If Me.txtPassword.Value = _
DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", _
"[Login]=""" & Me.cboEmployee.Value & """ AND [Level]=""RVP""") Then
lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

'Close logon form and open splash screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmRVP"


Else
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, _
"Invalid Entry!"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End If
End If


I'm coming from Excel-world, and although we have the Dlookup, I don't think
anyone really uses it. I can see, in Access-world, it is very important.
Thanks guys for getting me straightened out guys.
