Good Afternoon, I am new to the world of programming. after reviewing this site for info pertaining to my situation, i have declared a loss and posting for help. maybe i am just overlooking the situation, maybe just need a second set of eyes on this. i am in the military and have designed a unit database that allows for all kinds of tracking and reports generation for training meetings to licensing of soldiers on equipment and other administrative functions. However this database contains personal information that needs to be secured to allow only authorized users that work in the main office. this database will be placed on a network share so that all authorized users will be able to access it as needed for daily operations. my baseline was SD2 a few years ago but after a few years of using it and continuing upgrades and new units, i am required to increase the security.
Situation: All users have a smart card that they use to login to their Desktop. I have code that checks for the Windows login ID and matching that users permissions based on security level authorized and i have the baseline login screen using the code found in lots of locations on the web. now i need to make it so that only certain options are available to basic users.
Question:
I want to get rid of the password login, since the user will be authenticated by their smartcard login to windows. however how do i make it possible for the login button to check that username against the security level authorized per their ID name and then open their form and only their forms?
Possibilities:
i would love to share this database with anyone interested if they dont mind helping me with better solutions on the login funcionality in access 2007. it is hard for me to get the reference materials i need as i am stationed in korea. i have the database preped for dissemination to other programmers, i have removed all the soldier info from tables so you can play with it however you want. i have worked on this since 2007 at my last unit, it is just time to upgrade this baby for transferability to other units and still be able to maintain security.
i would post code here but dont know where to begin.
the database is in ACCDB format using Access 07, i am also learning VB 8 express, downloaded it yesterday, really trying to get a better grip on VBA Programming. but the database has sort of a deadline before they scrap the idea all together.
Any help would be great, i will send this out to anyone requesting it in a .zip file. size right now is 27MB.
