Log In Password Authentication

Hi,

I have an Access 97 database (soon to be converted to 2000). I would like
to create a login form that can authenticate the user's network password so
they don't have to have yet another password to log into something. I have
read a lot of postings but haven't seen anything I can easily use. I have
used the fsOSUserName function and that returns the user's EIN. Is there
something similar that will return the network password?


Thanks
LeAnn

This was asked a couple of weeks ago and I think one of the MVPs said you
can't do it.

Yes, I believe I read that post in the Security group. Someone came up with
some kind of work around but it looked a bit complicated to me. I'll have to
digest that then.

Thanks

Here is a Function that you can plug into your database that will
authenticate a user to her Windows Active Directory Domain using ADSI /
LDAP. http://www.WorksRite.com/LDAPAuthenticate.htm I have used this in
several Access applications where we needed some security, and did not want
to try to keep the Access Database up to date with the users normal domanin
username / password.
