'On your CmdLogin_Click event of the login screen.

'To Allow User to Change Password you need another Form which do almost the same this, But
this time you seek for the User ID and then use the Edit & Update command to update the new
password into the database. Then just return a value so that you can tell the user whether
the new password is update successful or invalid old password occur. like below:
'Change password Button on the change password form
Private Sub CmdAction_Click()
Select Case ChangePassword(SysUser.UserID, txtPassword(0), txtPassword(1),
txtPassword(2))

txtPassword(2).SetFocus
Case 2 'User Not found
MsgBox "Invalid User ID.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, ""
txtPassword(2).SetFocus
Case 3 'Invalid old password
MsgBox "Invalid old password.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, ""
txtPassword(0).SetFocus
Case 4 'Successful

'Note:
It is better for you to encrypt the password before you save it into the database. it
more secure.
Hope this is what you looking for.
