i use this code to run a forget password in a login system.
it works just fine, but have one error if u entered wrong information it gives me invalid use of null and points at(vPass = DLookup("PASSWORD", "SYS_USER", strFilter).

Your variable "vPass" should be type "variant".

You may also wish to exit the sub if you have invalid entries, like so:

Private Sub Command4_Click()
Dim vPass As Variant           '<------------------------ Should be variant, not string datatype
If IsNull([usernametxt]) = True Then
    MsgBox "Username is required", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
    Exit Sub                   '<------------------------ Leave Subroutine on invalid username
ElseIf IsNull([answertxt]) = True Then
    MsgBox "Password is required", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
    Exit Sub                   '<------------------------ Leave Subroutine on invalid answer text
End If
' Evaluate filter before it is passed to DLookup function.
strFilter = "[USERNAME]= '" & Me.usernametxt & "' And [ANSWER]= '" & Me.answertxt & "'"

' Look up product's unit price and assign it to the UnitPrice control.
vPass = DLookup("PASSWORD", "SYS_USER", strFilter)

If IsNull(vPass) = False Then
    Me.passwordtxt.Value = vPass
Else
    MsgBox "You have entered an incorrect username or answer."
End If

End Sub

Hope this helps.
