    Form "On Open" Event Password Code Not Working in .accde

    I thought I had the password issue down for opening a specific form in my db -- until I published it in .accde. I have one form in my multi-user db that I don't want outside sources to have access to. (Keep in mind that the general users of this db have no interest or clue in how to back-door access forms or form designs. So this simple solution is really all that is needed.) I inserted code in the On Open event of this particular form as follows:

    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)



    Dim pwd As String
    pwd = InputBox("Please Enter the Password")
    If pwd = "Password" Then
    MsgBox "You're In. Welcome!"
    Else
    MsgBox "Password incorrect. Access Denied"
    DoCmd.Close
    End If

    End Sub


    This worked perfectly when operating the .accdb database. However, when I published it in .accde format, the function is simply igonored and it opens the form right up without prompting for the password.

    Any other solutions to this?

    Sounds to me as though the code is just not firing. I would go back to the original bd and try to create the accde again. Just check that the code is working in the original db first.
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.

    Does any code fire? In not, it's possible the folder where the .accde file resides hasn't been declared as 'trusted.'
