Request Username and Password when open macro

Post by foreversjc » Tue Dec 22, 2015 3:05 pm

Is there a way to create a simple login form, so the user has to input his username and password, if it passes it opens the macro, if askes him to enter again.

The macro would post to an externa site, like www.test.com/macro.php and the response would be something like OK ( if user and password are ok, also if the user is not already logged in ) , ALREADY ( that means the user is already logged in, so he cant login again ) and WRONG ( username or password invalid ).

Then if everything is ok, the box closes and the macro goes on.

Thanks

Answered by support as Dorian says but for the benefit of others ..

You can set a password under Macro Properties in the Encryption tab. Or if you want a code based solution, perhaps for a compiled macro, a simple solution is just:

Code: Select all

Let>INPUT_PASSWORD=1
Input>strPassword,Enter your password:
If>strPassword<>MJTISCOOL
  Exit>0
Endif
