Gustav's comment about using AD is one of the ways I do it. &nbsp;It is easy to assign users to roles or groups in AD, and you can then query the AD to determine whether users are in the correct groups. &nbsp;You might want to take a look at my <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/31710/Using-Active-Directory-Groups-in-Access-and-VBA.html" rel="ugc">article on this topic</a>.

Hi<br />
<br />
I want to set up a fresh database that controls user logins on the main form that opens when the database first opens. I am just looking for some advice on how to do this. What code would I use and in what form events should I use it?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Access VBA log in control

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
