Private Sub ACCEPT_Click()
Dim ls_username, ls_username_1, ls_password, ls_password_1  As String
Dim str_sel As String

ls_username = Me.User_name.Value
ls_password = Me.password.Value
 
 
 
str_sel = "SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE [USERNAME] = '" & ls_username & "';"
If IsNull(ls_username) Then
MsgBox "Please enter username", vbInformation, "Payroll Logon"
Else
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open str_sel, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
 
rs_count = rs.RecordCount
If rs_count < 1 Then
MsgBox "Username Does not exist", vbCritical, "Payroll Logon"
Else
ls_password_1 = rs!password
If ls_password_1 <> ls_password Or IsNull(ls_password) Then
MsgBox "Please Enter Correct Password ", vbCritical, "Payroll Logon"

It looks like your ODBC drivers don't work.
To test it, try to create DSN to your server and at the end it has option to test connection. If it doesn't work you probably need to update\restore your ODBC drivers.
Usually helps to install latest MDAC from Microsoft.


Thank you.

you need to connect to the database first before trying to get a result set into the recordset.

dim con as new adodb.connectio n
dim rs as adodb.recordset
.
.
.
' using a DSNless connection, connect to the database
con.open "Provider=SQLOL EDB.1;Password= p@55w0rd;Persis t Security Info=True;User ID=UserName;Ini tial Catalog=Databas eName;Data Source=ServerNa me"

'' given your previous assisgnment to str_sel, you can use....
rs = con.execute(str _sel)

although I have come to find out the adodb 2.8 class does not return a correct value in the recordcount method.

you may need to iterate through the recordset manually to get a correct count of records returned.

Did you check in project - references ADO?

Show your code now.
