What is the program you are using to do this? is it VB? Can you copy the pertinent lines of code for others to look at?

In PsuedoCode:
CODE int Sentinel = 0 boolean validPassword = true while sentinel is less than 3, check the password if password is valid then break out of loop set sentinel = to 0 if password is invalid increase sentinel by one if sentinel = 3 validPasword = false if not validPassword is false end program And if you wouldn't mind, please don't type in all capital letters.

That is just psuedo code..it can be translated into any language. I am just showing you one way that it can be done. I could show you in Java, but that wouldn't do you any good. It is just a simple while loop, followed by a couple conditional loops once the while loop is finished.
How do you declare an int in VB? Do you know how to do a while loop in VB? Do you know how to do an if loop? Then do you know how to make a comaprison? There are probably a hundred different ways to code this. -------------------- |

I don't use VB, so I am not familiar with the syntax.

Private Sub cmdPass_Click()
If password.Text = "secret" Then Database.Hide Database2.Show Timer1.Enabled = False Else password.Text = "" password.SetFocus MsgBox "fdfgfg", 16, "ffdfdfd1" End If End Sub this is my code for my Vb6.0 it does work well but its limited, i want it to have a password lock that would give the user 3 tries to put their password and then after the third try it will close or stop them from entering... but of course after each tries there will be warning messages tthat would let the user know how many times he/she had put the password... i cant do it... it keeps onlooping until the desired number of n or tries is obtained... sori... ples help me... anyways thenks to you... besides learning Vb6.0 i am also doing a lesson on C++ it help me with that syntax thenks... |

I don't know VB.. this is just simple procedural programming.
If you want a user to know how many time they have tried to enter their password, then all you need to do is use your counter, which already holds the number you want to use anyway. -------------------- |
