            OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT Users.username, Users.password,Users.start_date, userprof.username, userprof.firstname, userprof.lastname, userprof.weight, userprof.height, userprof.age, userprof.BMI,userprof.gender,userprof.illness1,userprof.illness2,userprof.classification,userprof.weeklydate FROM Users, userprof where userprof.weeklydate= (SELECT MAX(weeklydate) FROM userprof WHERE  Users.username=userprof.username)", conn);


            OleDbDataReader reader;
            bool permit = false;

                conn.Open();
                reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

                while (reader.Read())
                {
                    if (textBox1.Text == (reader["Users.username"].ToString()) && textBox2.Text == reader["password"].ToString())
                    {
                        GlobalClass1.globalage = reader["age"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globaluser = reader["Users.username"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globalBMI = reader["BMI"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globalclas = reader["classification"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globalfnam = reader["firstname"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globallname = reader["lastname"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globalgen = reader["gender"].ToString();
                        GlobalClass1.globaldate = reader["start_date"].ToString();

                        GlobalClass1.globalweekdt = reader["weeklydate"].ToString();



                        permit = true;

                        break;
                    }
                    //conn.Close();
                   
                }
            }



            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            if (permit == true)
            {
                
                this.Close();
                MessageBox.Show("access granted");

                (this.Owner as Main).logoutToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = true;
                (this.Owner as Main).loginToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = false;
                (this.Owner as Main).homebtn.Enabled = true;

            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("access denied");
                textBox1.Text = "";
                textBox2.Text = "";

            }

           if  (DateTime.Now.Date > Convert.ToDateTime(GlobalClass1.globalweekdt))//tried to remove this but still had error
            {
                MessageBox.Show("A WEEK HAVE PASSED, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR PROFILE");

A String... :v:)

You did not say whay the error is?
What is the error message and on what line does it occur?

the error is in the attached picture:)

Sorry, did not see that.
But it still does not show where the error occurs in the code snippet you posted.
Is the error captured by the catch in line 44?
Does the "access denied" message appear?
Where does the exception occur when you have Exceptions set to when thrown?
(Debug - Exceptions - "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" check Thrown.)
(Don't forget to un-check this or it will become a pest when testing your own exception handling.)

yeah thats my problem, it didnt tell where the error occurs, it only happens when i entered a wrong user or pass.

So line 44 is not catching the exception?

Try setting the debugger to break when the exception is thrown (First chance exception!).
Debug - Exceptions - "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" - check the Thrown column.
Then test again. Hopefully it will break at a different line.

i get it now.. thanks.. the problem is when i entered a wrong pass or user, the if statement still executes. THANKS.
