I have just been working on a very similar piece, and i was wondering does anyone know how to pick up the password from the network. I have picked up the username from the network as per normal, and then I have an array containing permitted usernames. If your username is present then your enter the password and onwards.

However is is possible to set the password to the network password and you can check the password against their network password.

Hi,

You can't retrieve the network password using code. That would be one hell of a hole in security if you could

I've created similar applications to the one you're talking about and have normally just assumed that if the username matches one on the validation list then go ahead and provide access to the application.

Yes I know you cant can't physically retrieve the password. I was thinking whether or not you could in someway reference the password from their user account and check the login entered by the user against that reference. You could NEVER return it.

Why don't you do like dk suggested and just check their login username? If the workstation's username is correct, then they would have had to enter the right password to log on to their workstation, so you shouldn't need to check it again.

I might be missing the point, though...

HTH,

I found this:-

http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/index.html?code/network/acceptsecuritycontext.htm

It's written for Visual Basic but it shouldn't be too difficult to convert it to work with VBA. Not sure if it'll work for you but it may be worth a go.
