Different user how to view in different tab?

Dear All,

I face some problem in my final year project. I have five different access level which is administrator(ADMIN), supervisor(0), user tab 1(1), user tab 2(2), user tab 3(3) and user tab 4(4). User tab 1 to 4 is from different department.

When user tab 4 login, how can i direct this category of user to see the tab 4 interface instead of tab 1 interface? What method should and code should i use to do so?

Please help this noob.Thank you all of you.

you could always group the users into the different departments, then when the user logs in, it checks to see which department the user is in and then displays the right tab to the user on login. i do something similar for when a user or admin logs into my app.

As an example:
In your backend database where you store the users, have three fields. one called username, another called password and the third called department.

EG:
username password department
user1 pass1 1

Thwn when the user goes to login, you would query the db to see which department the user is in:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strUName As String
Dim strPwd As String
 
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
 
    Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
 
    conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
    conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Database.mdb;Persist Security Info=false"
    
    strSQL = "SELECT * "
    strSQL = strSQL & "FROM MY_DB_TABLE "
    strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE Username = '" & txtUsername.Text & "' "
    strSQL = strSQL & "AND Password = '" & txtPassword.Text & "' "
 
    rs.Open strSQL, conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
 
    If Not (rs.EOF) Then
        strUName = rs.Fields("Username").Value
        strPwd = rs.Fields("Password").Value
    End If
 
    'DO THE CHECKING FOR THE DEPARTMENT HERE
    If txtUsername.Text = strUName And txtPassword.Text = strPwd And rs.Fields("Department").Value = "1" Then
    'show panel one here on login
elseif txtUsername.Text = strUName And txtPassword.Text = strPwd And rs.Fields("Department").Value = "2" Then
    'show panel two here on login
elseif txtUsername.Text = strUName And txtPassword.Text = strPwd And rs.Fields("Department").Value = "3" Then
    'show panel three here on login
elseif txtUsername.Text = strUName And txtPassword.Text = strPwd And rs.Fields("Department").Value = "4" Then
    'show panel four here on login
end if
 
rs.close
set rs = nothing
 
conn.close
set conn = nothing
end sub

We have a specific user table in which all user names are entered. There is a field in the table that we call "Staff_Level". In this field is an integer which represents their security level. When the program starts, we get the name of the logged in user, query the user table and store their staff level in a global integer.

What they can, and can not do, through the entire program is completely dependent on what the staff level number is.

sample in post #2 :) (uses Access DB but you can change the connection to what ever DB you're using.)

What if I use something like this?

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdOk_Click()
.....
If Int_Level = "ADMIN" Then
            New_Btn.Enabled = True
            NewComp_Btn.Enabled = True
            ChangePwd_Btn.Enabled = True
            SSTab.Tab = 0
            txtCustID.SetFocus
            cmdNew.Enabled = False
            Add_Btn.Enabled = False
            cmdDelete.Enabled = False
            cmdUpdate.Enabled = False
        ElseIf Int_Level = "0" Then
             ChangePwd_Btn.Enabled = True
             SSTab.Tab = 0
             txtCustID.SetFocus
             cmdNew.Enabled = False
             Add_Btn.Enabled = True
             cmdDelete.Enabled = True
             cmdUpdate.Enabled = False
        ElseIf Int_Level = "1" Then
            New_Btn.Enabled = False
            NewComp_Btn.Enabled = False
            ChangePwd_Btn.Enabled = True
            cmdNew.Enabled = False
            SSTab.Tab = 0
            txtCustID.SetFocus
            Add_Btn.Enabled = False
            cmdDelete.Enabled = False
            cmdUpdate.Enabled = False
        ElseIf Int_Level = "4" Then
            SSTab.Tab = 3
            txtDateRcv.SetFocus
            txtReceiveBy = str_FullName
            New_Btn.Enabled = False
            NewComp_Btn.Enabled = False
            ChangePwd_Btn.Enabled = True
 
          
        End If
 
....

Try it...does it work for you?

On the surface, it looks fine.

Yah,it looks fine to me.. I hope to use the method from you all because you all method quite interesting. However,i am so stupid ..not so understand the coding. Too bad... I am trying to

What don't you understand?

strSQL = strSQL & "FROM MY_DB_TABLE "

....

'DO THE CHECKING FOR THE DEPARTMENT HERE
If txtUsername.Text = strUName And txtPassword.Text = strPwd And rs.Fields("Department").Value = "1" Then
....

Why use like that?
May i know please?

strSQL is an SQL statement to check your backend database. then
If txtUsername.Text = strUName is to check to see if the input in txtUsername matches the database value (see if its there) and same for txtPassword.Text = strPwd. then rs.Fields("Department").Value tells VB which column in the database to check for the user level .Value = "1" would be user level one.
