[AccessD] Password on the Backend

What is your BE are you using? How are you connecting to it? In ODBC the
username and password can be either be built in or it will make a login
request with each new connection. ADO-OLE once connected, stays connected
until you exit the application. When using ODBC, I just save the username
and password in variables and apply them as parameters with each request to
the BE.

This is off the top... so sorry about the lack of specifics.

Subject: [AccessD] Password on the Backend

Dear List:

I put a password on the back end and prompt for it in a pop-up in the
opening form.

However, now when I click a command button to open another form I get an
'invalid password' error.  It doesn't look like the _Open event of the
called form is executing.  But the form is bound to tables linked to the
back end.  

Does the OpenForm need a password parameter?  Or what am I missing here?
