Re: User Accounts

Why not use the windows intergrated security, Then you would not have to
create log on screens or processes (Would mean that user passwords would not
need to be managed or the problem of users have multiple passwords and
getting them mixed up). You could the have a table storedinside you database
which has the permissions loaded into it and read from that as the program
starts.

What Glenn says makes a lot of sense.But could you tell me what your
application is about, I mean will it a intranet based, that is the will the
user logging on the system be already authenticated by windows. If thats
the case what u can do is on startup capture the windows Login, and then
check with say a database where u have a table with loginids and the level
of access defined.
By the way this is just a general advise, If u need any clarification let me
know if ur application is browser based or and exe.
