Change Password form

[turbo910]

Hi guys ive got a login form and im trying to put together a change password form also.
now what i have already is a form with combo box for the username (combo0) a text box (oldPassword), and two more text boxes for (newPassword) and (verifyPassword). I think its all quite self explanitary for what each one does but just in case. What i want is for the user so select their username(combo0) and type in thier old password in (oldPassword), then type in a new password in (newPassword) and verify the new password in (verifyPassword). I also have a command button, but from here on out i don't know where to go, i have little knowledge in sql or vba but im willing to learn.



I do need the help pretty fast.

Thanks very much in advance guys

Although you have provided very little imformation about your database I will try to give you a solution:

The way I would do it.

User_table:{User_id(PK),User_name,User_password}

Now on a Blank Form in the Design View I will create a Listbox seting its Row Source Type as Table/Query
Row source will be Table User_table.
Use the Listbox wizard.(I used a listbox instead of a combobox.

Now following your set up
Select a user in the list box (ListBox0)
Type the Old password in one text box (TextBox1)
and the new password in the other(TextBox2).

Create a CommandButton in its onClick event type the following code

strOldPassword as string
StrSQL as string

strOldPassword=Dlookup("[User_Password]","User_id","[User_id]="& Me.ListBox0)

if Me.TextBox1=strOldPassword then
strSQl="UPDATE User_table SET User_password=" & "'" & Me.Text2 & "'" & " " & "WHERE User_id=" & "'" & Me.List0 &"';"
else
msgbox "The Old password is incorrect"
end if

if this solve your problem please mark this thread solved.

Hi Maximus, Im just implemented the password in my database... everything look fine (and password changing is almost working),,, just one point... and this is that it's changing to the same password all my user... I thought i was doing something wrong but I notice the same issue with your example... Could you please be so kind and check it?
Thanks in advance!

Your problem is this:
strSQL = "UPDATE tbluser_details SET User_password=" & "'" & Me.Text4 & "';"

You need to include a WHERE clause that limits it to the current user.

Hi Bob, I was trying to fix the problem, but this still, I just added the "Where"... but

But now and receiving an error that said: "Data type mismarch in criteria expresion"...
This code is for the same example that maximus posted in here... Could you please check it?

Private Sub Command6_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command6_Click
Dim intUserID As Integer
Dim strOldPassword As String
Dim strSQL As String
intUserID = Me.List0
strOldPassword = DLookup("[User_password]", "tbluser_details", "[User_id]=" & intUserID)
Select Case strOldPassword
Case Is = Me.Text2
strSQL = "UPDATE tbluser_details SET User_password=" & "'" & Me.Text4 & "'" & " " & "WHERE User_id=" & "'" & Me.List0 & "';"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
MsgBox "Password has been changed", vbInformation, "Password Changed"
Case Is <> Me.Text2
MsgBox "The Old Password doesnot match", vbInformation, "Type Correct Old Password"
End Select

Exit_Command6_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command6_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command6_Click

End Sub

Is User_id numeric or text? If numeric remove the quotes like this:

strSQL = "UPDATE tbluser_details SET User_password=" & "'" & Me.Text4 & "' WHERE User_id=" & Me.List0

And you don't need the semi colon at the end.

[delacra]

Yes!!!!! Hey Bob....... Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!! Thanks so much for all your helps, it's working perfectly now...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge...

You are a genius!

Thank you Mr. Bob I was searching about this problem for 2 weeks.

If IsNull(Me.cboCurrentEmployee) Or Me.cboCurrentEmployee = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Program"
Me.cboCurrentEmployee.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check to see if data is entered into the old password box
If IsNull(Me.oldpassword) Or Me.oldpassword = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Program"
Me.oldpassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

'Check value of password in Users to see if this
