....this is my login command code.....


QUESTION : can someone help me with this...the logic of my system is if admin was login he can access all forms he can create new user he can access inventory but if a regular user login he can only access inventory he can't access the form which can create another user ...PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS A VB6 SYTEM....I NEED THIS...ASAP....i will attach my files in here so that you can see all my codes and my whole system....

As I couldnt open your attachment. So in logical way I would say.
1.do not give other users access to userform.
2.even if you want to give access for changing password... disable "add new user" option for ordniary user

Happy COding!!

but what is the code of your logic..sample is admin was login all option are enable..but what if a regular user login the only access he has is the inventory form...can you tell what code should i use to manage that....i can't do that in if/else statement..can you please tell me...pls..pls...plss...

In the login table stare a flag value, which specifies if the ligin use is a normal user or an admin.

Based on that flag value you can enable / disable other dependent forms.

Try:

Option Explicit


Dim passattemp As Double
Dim db As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset


Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()

Dim User As String
Dim CurrentPosition As String

    
If Text1.Text = "" And Text2.Text = "" Then
    
    
    MsgBox "Data required, please enter a valid username and password!", vbCritical, "Log-in Error"
            
            Text1.Text = ""
            Text2.Text = ""
            Text1.SetFocus
 Else
    
 
    Set db = New ADODB.Connection
        db.CursorLocation = adUseClient
        db.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & App.Path & "\DATABASENAME.mdb"
    
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
        rs.Open "select * from TABLENAME where Username(name of ur field of usernames) = '" & Text1 & "'", db, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

            
                    
If Not rs.EOF Then
        

    If Text2.Text = rs!Password And Text1.Text = rs!UserName Then 
    MsgBox "Welcome to The System!", vbInformation, "Log-in Success"
    
    
                    User = Text1.Text
                    CurrentPosition = rs.Fields("UserType") 

			' UserType is the Table Field which has values of admin or user
                        'Depends on your Table Fields - change
			                        
                    With Form3
                    
                                        
                   If rs.Fields("UserType").Value = "Administrator" Then
