I'm confused.. So User_TextChanged() fires, but it only assigns password, username, turnon() fires, and the MessageBox shows?

And when turnon() is fired, how do you know that it is firing? I don't get it, you said MessageBox, but the MessageBox is in the catch?

This seems odd. As I said, lets see how you have everything laid out.

by the code I have in the thread, it should work, but it doesn't.

If it doesn't work then it shouldn't work. Are you mutli-threading anything?
