[RESOLVED] password problem

[Lord Orwell]

best method is to lock the program for a set time (say 2 minutes) from letting you click the button that shows the password form. This will prevent random brute force hacking and allow someone that really did mess up on accident to try again.

The reason it lets you try over and over is when you unload the form, you erase the variable you are storing the count in. Move the variable into a module, and you can load and unload the form all day long and it will still have the same count. Method above is better though.

how to set a time after unsuccessul attempts?have a sample for that?

After unsuccessul attempts for ore than 3 times, the password unload (mean the user cannot enter that module.. It ok.. Then When I try again... the message box Please put correct password always appear every time I enter invalid password despite I have enter the invalid password more than 3 times. It suppose unload after 3 times unsuccessul attempts.. The the first action it ok..But when I try back...the messagebox always appear and I need try it over and over untill I enter the valid password.
