sorry, beginner. What code? do i need to create a small
form for the password box or is there an existing one i
can use?
See whether the code in http://support.microsoft.com/?id=209871 is enough to
get you going.
You'd put the code from section 16 in your checkbox's OnClick or AfterUpdate
event, rather than in the form's OnOpen event.
Recognize, of course, that this doesn't really give you security. You don't
have to be that knowledgeable to be able to circumvent the password.
