Database expiration

[M.Rich]

Hello, I posted a similar question earlier and got an excellent response but
I've narrow it down a bit.
How do I make my database expire after x amount of days and require a
password to access it. I'm sort of a newbie but getting into the more
advanced functions of Access.
Thanks in advance,
Mrich.

Thanks for the compliment.
on your login form, lets say
put a button which will trigger to check the
validity of user id and password of the user
after confirming that the id and password are valid
user, validate the datefield on your table which probably
indicates the start date against the current date

sample... (assuming you're giving 5 days to access ur
database, on your table you have

loginname password date
user1 ******* 07/10/2004


if current date - datefield >5
then shutdown

Much thanks again but, I'm too much of a newbie to do that.
I need to so some more reading as to I would take to much of you time to go
into detail on how to do that. Thats for the help youve provided so far. I
have the concept and it's what I wanted. Now to figure out how to put it
together.
