I looked around in the ng but i didn t find a simple answer to this
question
(please, excuse me for my bad english)

i would like to grant access to an access db using active directory
authentication.

eg:
in a pc I have a default login (known by many ppl)
I want only people with a personal login (in active directory) can
access my database without logging out from default login.

is there a way for access to ask for an active directory
authentication when db is opened and grand access only if username/
password are correct ?

many thanks

Yes, thanks I know that.
But I need the authentication.
I want msaccess to authenticate the user for accessing database using
active directory validation...

Do you mean you want to challenge them (make them rekey their password)?
Randy Birch has sample code at
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/network/acceptsecuritycontext.htm

Otherwise, please explain what you mean by "authenticate the user ... using
active directory validation". They're already on your network, so they've
presumably already been authenticated.

If you're hoping to integrate active directory with Access user-level
security, hoping to avoid creating user ids and passwords in Access, it
can't be done.

users are validated on this pc with a default user (one user used by
many ppl.. something like "guest")
I want to let only few users to use this access application without
having to logout from the default user logged in the computer.

to leto only users with their username and password defined in active
directory to use this application

thanks

Did you look at the reference I cited? Seems to me it should do what you're
looking for.
