import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
import pickle

class Staff:
def init(self, userid, username, password, fname, sname, phone, email, dob):
self.userid = userid
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.fname = fname
self.sname = sname
self.phone = phone
self.email = email
self.dob = dob

Load staff data from pickle file

with open('my_staff.pkl', 'rb') as f:
staff_data = pickle.load(f)

def validate_login():
userid = username_entry.get()
password = password_entry.get()

for staff in staff_data:
    if staff.userid == userid and staff.password == password:
        messagebox.showinfo("Login Successful", "Welcome " + staff.sname + "!")
        return
messagebox.showerror("Login Error", "Incorrect Username or Password")

Main window

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Gym System Login")

Hey @slow dove!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

[slow dove]

'''py
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
import pickle

class Staff:
def init(self, userid, username, password, fname, sname, phone, email, dob):
self.userid = userid
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.fname = fname
self.sname = sname
self.phone = phone
self.email = email
self.dob = dob

Load staff data from pickle file

with open('my_staff.pkl', 'rb') as f:
staff_data = pickle.load(f)

def validate_login():
userid = username_entry.get()
password = password_entry.get()

for staff in staff_data:
    if staff.userid == userid and staff.password == password:

what does "isn't working" mean?

[slow dove]

it cant find the file within my computer

[olive oracle]

Looks like an issue with the current working directory

[steady robin]

yeah, if python is raising a FileNotFound error, and if you're using a relative path (i.e., one that doesnt' start with / or C:/) to look for it, that's the problem

[olive oracle]

I can see that the cwd is Users/email in the image, but the pickle file is in a folder named Coding Projects

If you open that folder in vscode it should work fine

[slow dove]

Ye its working now thanks

all this coding stuff is still new to me😭
