Coding Login Menu

[sharVyn]

I am new to VBA. I want make a login menu for a course work. I am having some difficulty.
- I have a frmLoginMenu and tblLoginMenu
-In tblLoginMenu I have a record named "firstrun". its values must be 0 or 1
My objective: I want the system to check if the value is 0 or 1.
But i don't really understand how to pull up (check) the value from record "firstrun" from tblLoginMenu


Now I am coding frmLoginMenu. I want to know what code to use for the system to check if the value is 1 or 0.
If anyone can explain this much to me, i think i'll be able to continue the remaining parts.

But, please use simple codes as I am already confused

One way would be a DLookup! If you just wanted to look it up. If you wanted to manipulate the value after looking it up, a recordset.

uhhhm, i wanted to use the command "[tblLoginMenu]![Username]", but i do not know how to use it properly. I want to pull the value from the record "firstrun".
if i am not mistaken, Dlookup is available only when designing the interface and adding different buttons. it is not available when using VBA

You are mistaken, DLookup is available pretty much anywhere. You can't refer to the table that way. Your two basic options in VBA are DLookup and a recordset.
