Force Users to Set Passwords

[Tom Stoddard]

Is there a way to set up a new user and then force them to create their own
password the first time they log on?

You could attempt to open a DAO workspace in code using the CurrentUser()
for the username, and a blank password.

If the password is wrong (i.e. they have a password set), you can trap the
error.

If you get no error then you'll know it is blank, and can throw up a nice
message, and a form for them to set their password.

That will work! Thanks!
