WebGu #1 / 4	? How to check user group membership I am a former VB programmer who has spent the past 3 years doing HTML and is now very rusty, so be gentle with me... I need to write an ActiveX component to be accessed by ASP web pages. Among the functions needed is the ability to check and see if logged on user X is a member of global NT group Y. The component will be running on a machine that is a member of the domain containing X and Y. I thought this would be simple enough but the more I wade into the win API's the more confused I get! Can someone help? TIA! (Alternatively, if anyone knows of a free or VERY cheap component that includes this function, that would be swell too). -- Pete the WebGuy petek(at)archland(dot)com ..

JC THIBAUDE #2 / 4	? How to check user group membership Hi, Well, you can do it by using the API programmation and use the NetUserGetGroups function. I'm trying to use it with VB because all example are in C++. Actually I have some problems with the pointeur structure in VB. But it works, I have saw some example. There is a lot of Network functions in API, you can find it in the MSDN from Microsoft. Good luck And if someone can tell me how to use pointers under VB, i will be very please.

WebGu #4 / 4	? How to check user group membership Thank you for that info. We will be migrating to AD soon so I may just put this project on hold until then.
