Using Windows authentication to access application

[Guest]

I don't like to create 350 individual accounts for the MIS Call tracking db I
created because of maintenance. I was wondering if I can use windows
username/pwd for authentication instead of the workgroup security. Is this
possible? TIA.

Sorry, it's not possible.

Put the data in a secured folder. Allow access to that folder
only to people in the appropriate (windows) security group.
Add or subtract users to the windows security group.

Or, use workgroup security with one user, and put the
security workgroup in a secured folder.

Or, put the Application database into the documents folder
of only those people who have permission to use it.

That handles the authentication. If you need the user name
as well, use the windows api, or the $user environment value
