Visual Basic Password Keeper Application. Part 1 - Complete VB code

By Sergey Skudaev


The VB password keeper is a Visual Basic version of The Password Keeper application which was implemented earlier in MS ACCESS. Here you will find a complete VB code. I grant it to you.

To Doanload the last version of VB Application source files http://www.learn-coding.today/vbkeeper/password.zip

I used Windows 7 (64 bit) and had no problem with VB6 and MS Access 2000 database.I included MS Access 2000 "password.mdb" database in zip file

Please read Start Visual Basic tutorial before creating the Password Keeper Application in VB.

In MS Access create mypassword.mdb database with one table passwords. Save it in VB directory, VBPassword subdirectory. Please see tutorial how to create database in MS Access. Use MS Access 2000, since VB6 has problem with later MS Access Versions. You can create MS Access 2000 database using Visual Basic. Maybe later I give you that code. for now please find a code online.
