    Create a database to hold usernames and passwords


    Right now I am using a spreadsheet to hold my usernames and passwords for users. I want to be able to type in a username and get back a password. I would like to store all the usernames and passwords in the database and password protect the database. I am a access noob and haven't touched it in years. I would assume this is a basic setup? Any help appreciated.

    Your intuition is correct. Excel is for math stream calcs.

    Get a textbook easily found at Amazon or any big book store. Forums are great but you'll save alot of time with a textbook.

    That excel sheet can get imported easily into a table.

    As to 'password protect' - that will depend on what level you really want to implement and so more info is needed once you are ready to implement it...i.e. at the file level, at the login level, etc.

    hope this helps.
