I have set up a username and password system. Once the user has logged in they can post a message on an announcement board. This just adds a record to my access database. What im wanting to do is only allow users to post 2 message per week. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks
Simon

What if you do a select statement...

select * from yourtable where submitter = JohnDoe and messagedate >= (GETDATE() - 7)

then count rows.

If there are less then 2 show the submission form

else
