user/password problem

[Immanuel_Black]

Hello I am using the built in access user/groups to control access for my
access application. I have run into an issue with passwords. When I try and
read the password property of the user it says i can't change it to string.
Is there a reason for this or am I just trying to do it wrong. Here is the
code I am using:

oops forgot the code. here is the code:


Dim wspWorkspace As Workspace
Dim usrUser As User


Set wspWorkspace = DBEngine(0)
strUserName = wspWorkspace.UserName
Set usrUser = wspWorkspace.Users(strUserName)

If (txtPassword <> usrUser.Password) Then
GoTo errWrongPassword
End If


it gives me an error at usrUser.Password

If VBA code could read a person's password that would make the password
pretty useless don't you think?

If you are using the built in user level security then it is ULS's job to
test passwords, not yours.

Is there a way to get the ULS to verify the users password for my form. I'm
using it as a group management form. so the administrators can change the
user information within my application. I want some form of verification on
this form though. So I thought getting the admin user to enter their password
would be ideal
