I've got an excel userform i've been working on and now I need it to look more professional by having a log-in screen. I've started with the code above but I have come to a dead end.
how its set up my aim is to say if id & password matches then load up workbook or unhide the workbook and continue. the username and password are on a sheet called "User&Pass"
Aim is it reads from there in columns a- user / b- pw respectively and if it's a success I will hide that sheet so they cant see other user's information
with what I started above I just need it to say if it matches usercolumn then corresponding pw next door to it continue else go to my errorhandler
i can do the formatting about hiding and unhiding sheets etc just need help with reading username and pw
thanks very much in advance

TESTED AND TRIED
Is this what you are trying?
CODE
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()
Dim RowNo As Long
Dim Id As String, pw As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim aCell As Range
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
If Len(Trim(txtLogin)) = 0 Then
txtLogin.SetFocus
MsgBox "Username cannot be empty"
Exit Sub
End If
If Len(Trim(txtPassword)) = 0 Then
txtPassword.SetFocus
MsgBox "Password cannot be empty"
Exit Sub
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set ws = Worksheets("User&Pass")
Id = LCase(Me.txtLogin)
Set aCell = ws.Columns(1).Find(What:=Id, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
'~~> If match found
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
RowNo = aCell.Row
If Me.txtPassword = aCell.Offset(, 1) Then
FrmMenu.Show
Unload Me
Else
MsgBox "Unable to match UserID or PasswordID, Please try again", vbOKOnly
End If
Else '<~~ If not found
MsgBox "Unable to match UserID or PasswordID, Please try again", vbOKOnly
End If
CleanExit:
Set ws = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume CleanExit
End Sub
TIP:
Never let your user know (from security perspective) what was incorrect - The username or the password. Always show a generic message like "Unable to match UserID or PasswordID, Please try again" :)

Another way
On Error Resume Next
If Me.password <> Application.VLookup(Me.username, Sheet1.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion, 2, False) Then
MsgBox ("incorrect")
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox ("Correct Password Entered")
End If
Also you will need to make sure that all your sheets are xlSheetVeryHidden from the outset to combat having macros disabled and un-hide them as part of your successful log in routine. You'll also want to set a password on your VBA project to prevent people unhiding the sheets. Bear in mind however, Excel is about as secure as a wet paper bag ;)
