Re: user Name and Password
Hardcore coding can be a good idea, but if the client let her password and username slip the software will be vunrable. you could send vb to search a file renamed as a dat which would enable the user to change the password ect. I have done something similar to this when i was at college. and it worked fine. Unfortunatley that was 4 years ago and have no memory of the exact code that i used, however i hope this will be able to point you in the right direction.

Re: user Name and Password
When the s/w is installed, you can provide him with a temp. user name and password. - Much like these web registrations!.
As a developer you would always know a "developer" password, that will open your database atleast!. So when the s/w is installed, add a 'temp' user data to the allowed user's table and then the user can change the password etc. If you can have this 'temp' login data hard-coded. or generated randomly at runtime also.

Re: user Name and Password
Hi.
Why not try to put up an Administrators account with the ability to reset the other users passwords. If someone forgets his/her's password, then it's easy to fix.
And one more thing regarding multiple users. The system I use for one program is to make a "Workgroup File (*.MDW)", if you're using MS-Access. It's very easy to add new users, change passwords, and restrict their access to the database.
