Securing a database

by mackem . Updated 24 years, 7 months ago

Not sure if I am in the right forum for this question but here goes.
I have a database built with Access 97.
It has ran for three years without any problems, but now we need to be able to validate some of the data which we input.
We run NT 4.0 sp6a servers with nt4.0 and 9x workstations.
What we need to do is validate when someone puts his/her name to a field, that they are authorised to do so. Their name must be validated with a password, to ensure they are who they say they are.
I don’t want to use Access security as this dosen’t go far enough.
NT security would not go far enough as either.
I also have vb6, but I have not done too much with this lately.
Any help or information as to where I might find the help would be greastly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help
JV
