Somewhat confused about which event to choose. When moving from a Password
form to a MainMenu form should I use the Activate, Open or Load event to
pull in the MainMenu form. Really not clear when to use each of these
events.

Secondly when the MainMenu is loaded how do I unload the Password screen?

Many thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

None of the above.

Use the BeforeUpdate event of the password textbox to validate
your password, (cancel if bad), then the AfterUpdate of the
password control to open your MainMenu, followed by the close
statement for the password form.

See above.
