>My application requires logon security at the form level. An easy way to do this is by creating a login class based on a form class and instantiating the class during the init() of the form that needs to be opened. If the user doesn't provide the right password, the init() returns false. Is there a way that would require less coding? I have only 16 hours to contract this. Any help appreciated.

what I use is to have the base classes include 2 additional
propertiey viewlevel and changelevel these holds the security level needed for viewing and/or changing the widget
when a user logs into the system he gets his level and all the forms
/menus etc are viewd according to the level
