Commented it before didnt work.
Heres a little debugging hint - try putting stoppers (click the left side of the screen and place the dot on the line) then when the code stops at that line, move the mouse over certain variables to see if they are what they should be. One good place to check is the password you are recieving. Hope that helps! 8)

Code:
Function PasswordOK(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Password As String) As Boolean
Dim FileName As String
'Dim RightPassword As String
Dim RightPassword As String * NAME_LENGTH
Dim nFileNum As Integer
PasswordOK = False
If AccountExist(Name) Then
nFileNum = FreeFile
Open FileName For Binary As #nFileNum
FileName = App.Path & "\Accounts\" & Trim(Name) & ".zap"
Get #nFileNum, 20, RightPassword '= nFileNum.Password
RightPassword = Player(Index).Password
If UCase(Trim(Password)) = UCase(Trim(RightPassword)) Then
PasswordOK = True
End If
End If
End Function
Tell me...why are you setting the file name after you need to open it using the filename? that doesn't seem smart. nor like that would even work
as for rightpassword = player(index).password. You are doing this before you load the entire account, therefore the player rec won't have any data in it. not to mention that the sub doesn't even know what index is. its not passed(nor should it be). You're also assuming rightpassword is 20 bytes from the start of the file. Is that still true(it might have been true for the person writing the tutorial, but you're game could be different)
Ok Tried different things I still couldnt get it to work

Code:
Get Trim(Name), , Rightpassword
by leaving it blank, you don't know where it is taking it from(probably from the start of the file)...noooooo....tell it what to do!!!
Code:
Password = Rightpassword
Why?!
Password is what they guessed!
Code:
Rightpassword = Player(Index).Password
you dont even know what index is!, the player hasn't been loaded! noo! baddd!
oK ill try it later school started and I cant be on pc >,> all I can do is homework =(

Lucky :S
But I do get a chance to grab a Latté whilst switching trains so it's not all bad.
Anyway, tell us if you manage to sort out your problem!
