Append New user to A Group

* I cannot append a new user to a group!
* Windows 2000 [Ia m Administrator]
* Access 97 I am logged in as a member of Admins
I own every object
I have full permission on every object
--------------------------------------------
I have now resorted to almost the identical code in the Access 97 help files
Users Object (DAO)
- code example 1 [with additions]
'CreateUser Method and Password and PID Properties Example'
[began without the additions]
-------------------------------------------


=== Code start =====
Private Sub Command2_Click()

Dim WkSpace As Workspace, grpNew As Group, usrTemp As User
Dim usrMine As User

Set WkSpace = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)

With WkSpace
' Create and append new Group.
Set grpNew = .CreateGroup("NewGroup", "AAA123456789")
'THE NEXT succeeds

' Make the user "NewUser" a member of the

BUT Note also that though
'THE NEXT succeeds
.Users.Append usrMine
usrMine, i.e."MyNewUser" does not belong to the 'Users' Group when inspected
with Tools>Security>acounts!

You need to refresh the Users collection after appending the user (and also
the groups after creating the group)
.Groups.Append grpNew
.Groups.Refresh
and
.Users.Append usrMine
.Users.Refresh

And you need to add the user to the Users group, and then add them to your
Group.

Thanks for persisting Joan.

I now see the error of my ways -
confused by having to use syntax that inferred the creation of a Group that
already existed.
All now working fine - thanks again
