Before creating a Login Form, you need to set up a table that can verify the login ID and password on the Login Form. The step of creating Login Form can be followed below:
1. Create a table tblSecurityLevel with a SecurityID and SecurityLevel field and add Admin for SecurityID =1 and User for SecurityID =2
2. Create a table tblWorker with a LoginID, Password and UserType fields. On my database, I setup a table tblWorker that has a UserType field links to a table tlbSecurityLevel. So the data type of a UserType field is number because it refers to the SecurityID (Autonumber) in the tblSecurityLevel table above. You can create the UserType field from the Lookup Wizard on the dropdown of Data Type column.
3. Create a Login Form from the Dialog form design. Then customize the form such as resize, change caption or name form.
4. Input two text boxes in the Login Form as txtUserName with label Login ID and txtPassword with label Password
5. Under On Click Event of the Cancel button, add the Embadded Macro with a QuitAccess command to exit the program or Access application
6. Under On Click Event of the OK button, add the VBA code below under the Event Procedure
How the code above works
Design Access Program
Verify if the Login ID and Password both are entered. If not, show a message to enter a Login ID or Password.
If both Login ID and Password are entered, then verify with table tblWorker if they match.
If matching, then check if the login user has a temp password = “password”, if yes then close Login Form and open form “frmworkerinfo” to change their password
If a password is not “password” then verify if the login user is Admin or User.
If is a Admin, then close Login Form and open a Navigation Form
If is a user then close Login Form and open a Navigation Form, but disable the Admin button on the navigation bar (NavigationButton13.Enabled = False)
7. Set a Login Form as a display form when open a database program on the Quick Access Option:
8. On the Navigation Form, create two textboxes and name it as txtLogin and txtUser. If the Login ID and password are correct then will open Navigation Form and pass the Login ID to txtLogin and pass workername to txtUser with code below:
9. If you have a first of Navigation Form is refer to the Login Id or User, it will show the Login user right away unless you click on that tab to refresh data. In this HowTo, I put the BrowseTo command to refresh the first page of Navigation Form because I have a greeting message to the Login user show below:

Microsoft Access 2007 introduced many new features to give Access forms enhanced behavior and a modern look that's more Vista-like. Here are some tips for adding these features to your application. Note that these features also apply to Microsoft Access 2010 and later.
Microsoft Access 2007 offers an option to use a new tabbed interface so multiple objects (forms, reports, queries, and tables) can be opened at once. Each object is a separate tab so users can easily see the available objects and click on the one they want:
This option is set from the Access Options, Current Database:
NOTE: Some people or applications may prefer the traditional Overlapping Windows which supports placing forms/objects side-by-side. This is not available with Tabbed Documents.
MSAccess 2007 lets you create controls that automatically resize with the form. Designed correctly, the controls you specify will grow and shrink as the user resizes or maximizes the form. This is especially handy if the user interface is set to Tabbed Documents since your forms will be maximized to fill the entire screen. Controls can be individually set to resize by anchoring them:
To make rows easier to identify, you can specify a different color for every other row.
This option is available globally from Access Options under Datasheet, Alternate Background Color. Or you can set it for a specific datasheet from the Home, Font section when viewing it:
If you embed graphics on your forms or reports, Access 2007 can store them much more efficiently. MS Access 2007 can convert graphics into much smaller PNG formats to significantly reduce the size of your databases. This does not affect graphics already on your forms and reports but helps if you add new graphics or replace existing ones. To activate this feature, change an Access setting. From the Access Office button, choose Access Options, Current Database. At the bottom of the Application Options section, set the Picture Property Storage Format to: Preserve source image format (smaller file size)
Xpel Design Access Program
Caution: Do not do this if you need to support users with older versions of Access since the graphics will not appear.
This change also impacts the transparency of picture images imported for command buttons. If your command buttons use themes or background colors, having transparent pictures is helpful. By default, white in your imported pictures are transparent if you use the option to 'Convert all picture data to bitmaps (compatible with Access 2003 and earlier)'. The are not transparent (remain white), if you set the option to Preserve source image format.
If you haven't already, make sure the Use Windows-themed Controls on FormSore in the crack of my buttocks area. option is checked under Access Options, Current Database. This feature was introduced with Access 2003 and gives your command buttons, radio buttons, and other controls a rounded more modern look.
If you use the sample databases that come with Access 2007, you'll see the use Calibri and Segoe UI fonts rather than Tahoma and Verdana fonts of before. Use the new fonts to give your forms and reports a fresher look.
Design Access Program
CAUTION: These fonts come with Office/Access 2007 but may not be installed on user's machines if they are using earlier version of Access.
Support Hyperlink Hand over Command Buttons Set this Cursor On Hover property for command buttons so a hand rather than the traditional Windows arrow appears over the command button.
Add Graphics to Command Buttons Add graphics to Command Buttons with Text. Before you could have graphics or text, but not both. (If you need this feature for pre-Access 2007 deployments, use this feature in our Total Access Components).
Use Transparent Buttons for a more Modern Look Command buttons can have transparent borders so they look flat and more like Internet Explorer type buttons.
Example
Microsoft Access Program
Here's a simple example from Total Access Emailer. Notice the transparent Command Buttons with graphics across the top of the form and the datasheet with alternating colors below it:
In Access 2007, forms have color themes which can be changed globally across all the Office products. Setting your colors properly let your forms take advantage of these global changes. For instance, you should use colors like:
'Background Form' for the detail section
'Background Light Header' for headers and footers
'Dark Text' for labels
'System Button Text' for command buttons
CAUTION: These colors are not backward compatible, so if you use these in Access 2007 and your users are using an older version of Access, these colors will appear Black, so you'll need to programmatically modify these if you're not in Access 2007.
At&t Access Program
Microsoft Access 2007 offers a wide range of new features to help you design applications that are much more visually appealing and functional. Take advantage of the new power to give your Access applications a modern, fresh look of Office/Access 2007 and Vista.
Good luck!
