Password Login Help

This is just a mach design. The text fie is located in C:\PasswordFile

I want it to open a subsequent form if the user Id and password for that user matches from the text boxes.

Thanks for the quick reply.

You might want to reconsider the location of the file, but that's up to you.

Use the TextFieldParser (set the delimiter to a comma), then read the file. As an example:

    Private Sub ReadInputFile(ByVal textFilePath As String)
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(textFilePath) Then
            Using tfp As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(textFilePath)
                With tfp
                    .TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
                    .Delimiters = New String() {","}
                    ' Set the following to true if you have fields
                    ' which are enclosed in quotation marks:
                    .HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes = False
                End With
                Dim currentLineOfText() As String
                While Not tfp.EndOfData
                    Try
                        currentLineOfText = tfp.ReadFields()
                        Stop
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        MessageBox.Show("An error reading the input file has occurred:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
                                        ex.Message, "I/O Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
                   End Try
                End While
            End Using
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("The input text file could not be located.", "File Not Found", _
                            MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        End If
    End Sub

The per line, test for the fields to see if you have a match.
