I thought John might enjoy this....someone has developed API wrappers to
secure an Access 2007 database via ActiveDirectory calls:

However, given the hassle of working with the IT department for almost <any>
task, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to have an admin Access user
maintain the list of users, groups, and roles within an Access table ? In
that manner, changes could be made instantly instead of waiting in the IT
security queue.
