VBA code to password protect and entry field?
Hi all! Here's an interesting project. In one of my forms in an acess DB, I have a text entry box. Now, I don't want just anyone to be able to type garbage into this text box. I also do not want to hide or lock it. I need to use it now and again. IS there some code snippet I can use to that will prompt for a password to unlock the text field? An example would be IF one were to click on the text field, A prompt would come up for a password. You enter the password and the text box would now be active to acept typing. Otherwize the text box needs to be greyed out and null (not active). Thoughts on this? -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/access-modules/201002/1

There are a few events you could use to trigger a prompt for a password, On
Dirty, On Change, and On Got Focus. On Dirty is probably your best bet if
the text box and the form its on are tied to a field and table. On Change
works even if it isn't, but it's triggered once per character entered, so you
might want to build in a time delay. On Got Focus will be triggered every
time you click in the box or tab to it.
Of the three of them, On Got Focus would be my first choice.
Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus
Dim strPassword as String
If Inputbox("Please enter the password:") <> strPassword Then
SomeOtherControl.SetFocus
TextBox1.Locked = True
End If
End Sub
Please let me know if this helps,
CJ

How do I insert a "save date" / "last edit date" field in footer
I want to insert "save date" / "last edit date" in my visio diagrams. However, currently Visio does not provide such option.

Can anyone tell me if/how I can get a valid reference to myCombo (on mySheet)? Thanks in advance, Paul Kraemer -- Paul Krae...
color-coding cells and more
Excel 97 / W98 Two easy questions. Is there a way to color-code a cell based on a condition, BUT not using Visual Basic Editor? That is, I want to change a cell based on a condition using the =IF(a,b,c) format. In the status bar, I have choices of SUM, Average, and a few others. Always opens with SUM as the default option. Can I change the default to 'Average?' -- Replace the AT in address Statistics convinces us we are in a minority. Probability convinces us we are psychic.
