Hi,

If you followed the article exactly:
ACC2000: How to Change User Passwords Programmatically Using DAO
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;200665

The key parts of calling the function ChangeUserPassword are the following:
====================================================================

TO ALLOW USER TO CHANGE THEIR OWN PASSWORD:
(looks like you are using this one)

For the button function
     Private Sub CmdChange_Click()

The key lines are
     Call ChangeUserPassword(CurrentUser(), "", Me!txtNewPassword)

     Call ChangeUserPassword(CurrentUser(), Me!txtOldPassword,
Me!txtNewPassword)

FOR THE ADMINSTRATOR TO CHANGE A USER'S PASSWORD:

For the button function
     Private Sub cmdChangeAdmin_Click()

The key lines are
       Call ChangeResetPassword("Change",Me!txtUserName, _
         me!txtAdminUsername, me!txtAdminPassword, Me!txtNewPassword)

So in your case it appears that you should be calling the function as
follows

   Call ChangeUserPassword(CurrentUser(), Old Password if any, New Password)

NOTE: if the use does not have an Old Password then the argument passed is
""

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

| I give up, I need help. I looked at the security faq, and I have the
change
| password with DOA method code. And it doesn't work. I double checked to
| make sure that I had the right reference selected, and I do have
Microsoft
| DAO 3.6 Object Library selected. And it still doesn't work. I think
it's a
| REALLY simple fix, because I'm not sure what goes into the function. I
have
| a call to the function, and I'm not sure about proper format or what goes
| into it. Here is what I have tried so far:
| ChangePassword
| ChangePassword()
| ChangePassword([Enter User Name],[Enter New Password])
| ChangePassword("","")
| ChangePassword(strUser, strPwd)
| ChangePassword(,)
|
| I'm obviously missing something here, please help me...
