Access User Level Security has nothing at all to do with Windows
or network domain security. You can supply the same user name,
but since that defaults to the last name entered that is not of
much use anyway.
Er, why would that matter? If the person has already authenticated
via their Windows logon, what's the big deal? If the problem is
someone leaving their workstation logged on all the time, then
that's a problem that has nothing to do with Access, and is a huge
risk to much more than just the data stored in your Access app.
I was speculating that the reason he wants "integrated security" is so that the
user will not have to enter a username and password. Since the ULS login prompt
defaults to the last username that was used then all that the user is really
having to provide is the password (after the first time).
So my point was that he could create a script that would launch the app while
automatically suppying the username, but not one that would automatically supply
the password and since the username is not going to change anyway the script
would provide zero benefit.
The password though would
still have to be keyed in for Access security.
You don't have to assign a password if you're depending on Windows
authentication.
Yes, but "depending on Windows authentication" is not the same thing as
"integrating Windows authentication with Access ULS".
