Is the userid the same as the windows login?

No it's not necessary, actually i will require 2 userforms one in which the userid will be similar to the xp userid of the user and second in which the userid will be same as email id of the user.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You have to have some way of knowing who is at the computer calling up your application before anyone does any logging, or "Remember Me" just isn't going to work.

If you you have a database table with username, password and remember me fields and the username is the same as the windows login, then you could, in the click event of the "Remember Me" checkbox, populate the rememeber me field with a Y that corresponds to the username.

The next time the application is executed, before the login, you could grab the windows login and use it in a SQL SELECT statement in which you want the remember me field for the username = windows login.

If the remember me field has a Y, then just log the person in else display the login screen.

If you have unique usernames then you would have to have the person tell you what they username is so you could check to see if remember me had been checked. All that is going to do is stop them from having to enter their password and that really isn't a true "remember me"

What you could do is log the name of the computer...but...that would mean that ANYONE sitting at the computer would be auto logged if remember me is checked. That isn't something I would care for but it is an option.
