As a user signs in. I write that information
to a file. I then want to take that name
and compare it with the user that have
access to the program. How can I do this?
I am just learn. I am having trouble
comparing the names. and sending back
an ok. Please help.

Will your list of users be in a database or perhaps a text file?
User file will be a file with a cfg
extention. It could also be a text file.
I was having trouble making both files
be in a database. So, I am trying it
this way. Thanks, Rasnic
You could use an ini file and then use VB's functions to Read and write to the file.
You should probably think twice about using a file for security. Unless the file is encrypted it would'nt take long for a user to figure out how to defeat your security. You should consider using a database and then control access to the database.
:):)
Obviously I'm not sure of your full requiremnets, but if you need Users to log in and security then it sounds like a multi user/network application. I would suggest you create an ActiveX.DLL which encapsulates a resource file with your Users names.
This has many benefits as it is then a single source of the user names and it is more secure than external files.
You have not provided an e-mail address but if you drop me an e-mail I will return some code to show you how to do it.
