Creating a login form that checks against the database

Hello and HELP! :confused:

I am a near or a complete newbie to vb 6.0 or any versions. ok..I'm assigned to create a login form with two textbox - username and password. Plus two command buttons, to enter or reset.

So..how do i connect my form to my access database so that it would check against the database for the correct username and password before allowing the user to login? I have search through the posts in the forum and on the web for days but failed to find any or failed to understand it. Sorry for this newbish question because i am new..:confused:

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

Lets start with a basic question.

Do you know how to connect to your database from VB6?

There realy are tons of examples how to acchieve that. Not that I don't want to help you, but did you try to do a search?

Hello Hack, i have some idea about connecting to a database just unsure about ado and stuff.

And radjes, yes i have searched for them. I found some examples but i'm not sure how to use it together with the password checking idea. Some of the examples gave me several errors, there could be more that i haven't seen yet but believe me i have tried before posting. *goes to search for more*
