I created a user and I can't log on as that user

S

Sam

Hello,

I followed the instructions exactly on how to create a
security administrator account (following Access 97
help). For some reason, I can't seem to log in as that
user even after I have created a unique password.

The Access Security FAQ's page suggests that I should type
in the user name in the opening dialog box without the
password. That didn't work.

One strange thing I find, after I have created the user
name, when I click on the "Change Logon Password" tab, the
user name says "admin". If I click back on the "Users"
tab, the name I have as the new account is highlighted.
Is there a problem here?

A response would be much appreciated.

Sam

Hi Sam,

You see Admin on the Change Logon Password tab because you are logged on as
the Admin account.

Give the Admin account a password (remember the password). Close Microsoft
Access and then reopen it. You will be prompted for User Name and
Password. Enter the correct User Name and Password.

If you don't remember the User Name and Password log back in as the Admin
account.

Select the menu option Tools > Security > User and Group Accounts

From the drop down select the User account and click Clear Password.

NOTE: in order to be prompted for User Name and Password the Admin account
must have a password. If not, every logs into the database as the Admin
account.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
