[Current User] filter problem

Hi,

I'm using SharePoint 2003 and FrontPage 2003. I have created a simple web
part in FP 2003 that connects to a database and retrieves some records. One
of the columns contains domain user names (DomainName\UserName). I then set
a filter on the dataview to be: Show only rows where column UserName =
[Current User]. This works fine when I'm logged in as the Administrator of
the machine.

As soon as I log in as another user, I get no results when applying the
filter to the web part. If I remove the filter, all the data is there, and
shows up. The users that are not working are all part of a global domain
security group in Active Directory. I have imported all the users from
Active Directory, and yes, I have created actual users as well. The users
however only mirror the groups in Active Directory, not the actual users (it
would be ay too many).

The user can log in, and move around on the portal and subsites, add links
etc. But when it comes to displaying the data that is filtered, nothing
shows up.

If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.

Best regards,
Stefan Nilsson
