I would like to setup a form that will log the users logging in to a
db. The form and the Db will currently log the users if they complete
the logon and get in. It will then log the entry, but not if they
fail to login. If they fail I would like it to log the attempted pass
and the computer name from where they are logging in, the systems are
both win2k and win98 under access 2K.
for ex
User: User1
Pass: password
User gets in
DB shows, user1 pass ComputerName Work2 at 10:00am 09-29-03
User: User2
Pass: fail "entered the wrong pass"
User asked to relogin
DB shows, user2 Failed "fail" ComputerName work1 10:01am 09-29-03 5 2708
Hi Chuck,
This code will only work if the login succeeded, won't it?
I can't think of code that logs the unsucceeded attempts, or am I missing something here?
I also count and log the number of users, machinename and so on, but not for attempts to log in.
Could be interesting though.

I don't believe there's any way to log failed logins. Access doesn't start
running until after the validation process, so you can't use VBA code in
your application to do that kind of logging.

From the responses I think I need to mention that I am not using the
built-in access control to access. This is a form with in the DB
itself. I can get it to log the logon attempts now, but only the ones
that get into the DB not the ones that fail. I don't seem to able to
get it to create a new record each time the user clicks the "log On"

Say you have a form like this:
UserName: [ ]
Password: [ ]
[Log In] [Cancel]
The cmdLogIn button will do something like the following:
dim blnLoginOK as Boolean
dim rs as dao.recordset
dim db as dao.database
set db=currentdb
'open the table for adding records
set rs=db.opentable("tblLogons",dbOpenTable)
'determine if the password matched
blnLogInOK = ValidateUser(me.UserName,me.Password)
'Log the attempt, successful or not.
rs.AddNew
rs.Fields("UserName")=Me.UserName
rs.Fields("Successful")=blnLogInOK
rs.Fields("TimeStamp")=Now
rs.Update
'Clean up
rs.close
set rs=nothing
set db=nothing This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
