First things first, don't use "Name" as a field name, in your case change it
to "EmployeeName". Name is a reserved word in Access and it can cause you
grief later on. Also change the "IN" field to "LoggedIn"
In the logon form use a combo box that lists the users' names so the user
can then select their name instead on typing it. Use 2 columns in the combo
box: lngEmpID, EmployeeName. Set the combo box's column count to 2 and the
column width to 0cm;3.5cm. This will hide the first column and display the
second. Also make sure there is a text box for the user to type in the
password.
Behind the button you're going to use to log the user in copy the following
code.
(I'm using "tbl" as the table name, change this to the actual name of the
table)

Dim db as DAO.Database
