network logon

[HDI]

Hi,

We are working with Office 2003 and for our access apps we logon with
the classic access security.

The username and password is the same as windows logon. Is it possible
that access check the network logon?

Thx

I guess the OP simply needs this:

Rick, what if the network login is the Windows profile name? I know in
our organization set up, my user profile name is the same as my network
login name. Of course, that may not be the same everywhere.

If, and only if, the above situation is true with the OP, he could use
the code in http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm

Or have I missed the mark here?

My take was that the OP wanted Access Security to automatically use the
network credentials for logging into Access. While Access can run code to
retrieve the network logon UserName it cannot use that as the User Level
Security account. I mean unless you set up all accounts to have blank
passwords.

You can use API to get the user logon. You cannot get the users password
(pretty stupi system if you could).

You cannot use Windows authentication to automatically log in to the access
database through Acess security.

database through Acess security.

This is what i want like sql-server.
So the answer is NO.

Er, you can, sort of, if you create user accounts with no passwords,
the names of which match the Windows logon.

You could also skip that and utilize the Windows logon and group
membership to control access programmatically within your
application.

However, it would also be useful to be able to use ActiveDirectory
organizational units, which are more likely to correspond, seems to
me, to real-world permissions (at least in the organizations I've
worked with). Unfortunately, I've never found code for doing this
that I could understand how to port to VBA.
