    You did not finish your thought in the last post. Have you used any examples from the net?

    @ruralguy: can i complete the thoughts for tempuser?

    i want to design a database to be accessed by 2 levels of users on a network: admins / users with view only rights. I figured that the best way to have effective control is thru a login screen. In case of admin, one gets to see the database and in case of a normal user, there would be a splash screen with all other controls/toolbars disabled.

    i need inputs on: (a) is the line of attack correct? (b) how to collect the appropriate bits of codes for the right approach?

    ciao

    I would look into (ULS) User Level Security. But study up first. Here's a good place to start.

    I found a form on internet where a combo box is used as username field and a text box field as password. In this form dlookup is used to check if the data entered in both field matches with those stored in the table. if values in both form match then a splash screen opens up
    i need assistance in writing a code with an if stmt, like if for eg user id and password =xyz then a form named xyz must open

    Many thanks for support.

    You are still going to have problems with the different levels of asses allowed to users such as ReadOnly. Are you sure you don't want to look into ULS?
