Hi Mr. Brandt,

thank you so much for your clear explanation... maybe the future
versions of access would acquire this thought?

i may be able to add new users in an access table but if they change
their windows login password when it expires, that would result to
another problem as this will not get synch with access security. :(
is this correct?

Do you have an IT or other group that is in charge of your network? If so, I am
sure they would very much NOT want you to be storing user passwords in an Access
file.

If you need security then make the users login. It's really not that difficult.
If you just need to keep track of who users are while they are in your app then
use the API code I mentioned before and don't bother with Access user level
security.
