  1. Form_OnLoad()
  2. Dim user as string

  4. user = dlookup("UserType","tblUser","EmployeeID=" & [EmployeeID])
  5.  
  6. if user = "Admin" then
  7. me.txtdel.visible = True
  8. elseif user = "user" then

It looks fine. What happens when you run it?

I advise that you pull "EmployeeID=" & [EmployeeID] out of the function, assign it to a variable and use the variable within the function:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. '...
  2. Dim strWhere As String
  3. '...
  4. strWhere = "EmployeeID=" & [EmployeeID]
  5. '
  6. user = dlookup("UserType","tblUser",strWhere)
  7.  
this way if the returned value(s) for strWhere are not resolving correctly you can use the debug.print strWhere to print the resolved string to the immediates window for review.
