Microsoft Access 2007 login button not working solution

To create a login form in Microsoft Access 2007, follow these steps:

1. Create a New Form: Open your Access database, go to the Create tab, and select Form Design to create a new form.
2. Add Controls: In the form design view, add the necessary controls:
   • TextBox for the username.
   • TextBox for the password (set its Input Mask to Password to hide the input).
   • Command Button for the login action.
   • Label controls for instructions or error messages.
3. Set Properties: Set the properties for each control. For example, name the username TextBox as txtUsername and the password TextBox as txtPassword.
4. Add VBA Code: Open the VBA editor (by clicking on the button and selecting Event tab) and write the code for the button's click event. This code should validate the username and password against your user data (which could be stored in a table). Example code snippet:

      Private Sub btnLogin_Click()
          Dim username As String
          Dim password As String
          username = Me.txtUsername
          password = Me.txtPassword
      
          ' Validate credentials
          If DCount("*", "Users", "Username='" & username & "' AND Password='" & password & "'") > 0 Then
              ' Successful login
              MsgBox "Login successful!"
              ' Proceed to the next form or action
          Else
              ' Failed login
              MsgBox "Invalid username or password."
          End If
      End Sub
   

5. Test the Form: Save the form and switch to Form View to test the login functionality. Enter credentials and check if the validation works as expected.
6. Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage any unexpected issues during login attempts.

By following these steps, you can create a functional login form in Access 2007.

Do you already have a table of users and user credentials which you'll use to log your users into the database?

Your post title is: "Microsoft Access 2007 login button not working solution"

That implies you've already tried something, which is not working.

Rather than go off in a new direction, let's examine what you already have and try to modify it to produce the results you want.

Can you provide a copy of the accdb you currently have?

You might like to take a look at ObjectSecurity.zip in my Dropbox public databases folder at: 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/0scigd3r48hx5xrev2jrf/AB0-GMdTgMAO5O1cGdr3QW0?rlkey=ib6bs6g9jqcrywwzivur3265t&dl=0 

The zip archive includes versions of a demo file in which permissions are stored individually per user, or by groups of which a user can be a member of one or more.  In the former a dialogue form opens at startup for users to log into the database.  When they enter a password it is hashed by code in a module in the database.  The hashed value is compared with the stored password value for the user in question. 

Once a user has successfully logged in by entering their password the remainder of the demo is concerned with users' permissions to objects in the database.  This functionality can be omitted if you are only concerned with user's logging in, after which they will be able to access all interface objects.
