My primary program that I have been trying to write is a Public Service Dispatching program (e.g. Police, Fire, Medical) but one of the main features I want is for the end-user (dispatcher) to have to logon/logoff using an ID and PASSWORD. Can someone give me some leads on how to do this? I have a book regarding databases, and have read many other articles but I am still very confused!
 
It depends on where you want the users to log on. Would you like them to log on to get into your program? If so, you could create a table in a database with usernames and passwords. Then in your code create a login screen that checks against the database to see if the user is able to login to your program.

What make you confused? Do you understand what is Database? What do you expect from here?

Yes, I know what a DATABASE is... I was writing programs when I was 13 years old, but back then it was called BASIC (not Visual Basic) and things were a lot different and I am new this style. And what I expect from here is a little help, that is all I asked for, not some smart remark!
 
Thanks eschulz for the link I will check it out. You hit the nail on the head, I want the user to LOGON to access the program and incorporate a function in which it acts like a time clock... But first things first...
