Does anyone know if it is possible to do this with a database:
When someone opens a database for the first time, it opens up the Main Form but there will also be a small pop-up that is prompting them for an activation code. I want it to be something like a one time code (or password) that they will enter and if the code they enter is correct then the pop-up goes away and will not ever show up again and then they can us the database. If the code isn't correct then the pop-up will not go away and it will prevent them from using the Main Form and this pop-up will continue to be there each time they open the database until they enter the correct code.
What I would like to do is assign the database an ID like 01001. If I can get access to get the machine name and combine it with the ID that I assign to database then I can state on the pop-up something like "Your database ID is 01001ComputerName. You must log onto to get your activation code." and they will go to the website and enter their database ID and it will give them the activation code. (ComputerName will be the name of the computer the database is on and will be the website they go to for the activation code)
Thanks!
