What kind of passwords are you wanting to create? What are you wanting to use the passwords for?

Also, Visual Basic and Visual C++ are two different programs. I'm assuming you mean Visual C++?

I think you can use Access database to store the passwords and use ADO controler to operation the database.

Hello,

If he wants a password to get into his program, he could control it with the OS, or he could wriite/use an encryption module to prompt the user for a password, and then write the encrypted string to a file. Then, when access time comes around, have him read in the value, and then do a compare to see if they match or not.

This can be done. If security is not all important, and this is just an exercise, or proof-of-concept type of thing, you can store the password in clear text. Nothing more than a a file open -- read -- compare exercise.

For future reference, please be aware that email addresses in posts are against the rules and extremely likely to be removed by the moderators.

@Neithan:

First: What Narue said.
Second: A meaningless bump like this (begging for code) will be deleted by me. By replying to this bump, you give me 2 choices:
1. Leave them both (as in this case) and explain why you shouldn't do this
2. Delete them both which also costs me extra time.

So please just press the 'flag bad post' button on the post and save me some time :)
