Re: Change Password command

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It's not something I've ever played with, so this is my first look, but you
can change passwords directly from VBA by doing something like...

Dim ws As Workspace
Dim usr As User
Set ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
Set usr = ws.Users(CurrentUser)
usr.Password = "...."

So I'd suggest building your own form with that type of stuff behind the OK
button.
