logging on

I am new to Visual Basic, how do you compare a value entered in a text field (eg password) and a value held in a field of a table in an Access DB to ensure they are the same?
Thank you!

You could run a sql statement.

select * from password_table where username = '" & uname.text & "' and password = '" & pword.text & "'"

if a record is returned than the username and password combo is valid
