for the bulleting board i just want it to work on visual basic program, we have to create a group shring program hence the bulletin board

have a butch on www.pscode.com . i use it alot for my VB stuff :)

remember, if you doing the easy login way ie : If strPassword = "fred" then (do sumthing) and compile it, the string "fred" will show up in the binary code. So to make it harder, convert all your password strings to ascii - ie: If strPassword = Chr(102) & Chr(114) & Chr(101) & Chr(100) then (do sumthing). It makes it alot harder to find :thumbs:

As for creating a board, doing you mean for internet use or for internal use over a network etc?

hehe many diffo ways to do it. Depending how complex u want it. if u just want a basic login (easy to get past but sitll a login). just use text boxes so it checks txt in the textbox if its = to a true statement take to next page :). If ya need some help ill possibly be online about 10.30 off t work in mo msn me dangrant@btinternet.com ;)

Hi guys, i am abou to do a cursework mainly based on visual basics. I know the basics of using visual basics i.e. create/design the new forms and link them to buttons so when u press the buttons it will take you to the next page etc.

However, can some point me in the direction of inserting specific user name and passwords on the forms??? so only particular users can enter the system when its being run.

Also how hard is it to doing a bulletin board on visual basics?
