Log in and Username appear on each forms

[kagelu2003]

Hi Good day.

I managed to arranged username on my switchboard upon entry, and upon log-in it will go directly to the particular form. However I want to show log-in name on the form i.e. "Hello Ben".

Also, when I open my database my switchboard did'nt pop up automatically unless I click it, is there any advise for that. thanks.

Can someone help me on this matter.

The switchboard can be automatically opended by setting it as the default form in the project properties or by an autoexec macro. For the project setting, click File>Options>Current Database, set Display Form.

Why do you need user name on form? Several ways this can be accomplished.

Hi Thank you for that, I try the switchboard option and it really work, I need names appear on the form as per the requirements needed by my company. Actually on the switchboard I created username and log-in and when you hit the log-in botton it will direct you directly to the form, however I want the form to show the name provided on the switchboard during the log-in stage. Do you have any Idea how to do it.

Thanks

One way: Never close the switchboard form. All other forms can have an unbound textbox that refers to the textbox on switchboard in ControlSource:

=Forms!Switchboard!textboxname
