You can actually use ADO. I put a zip file holding the source to my Active Directory Logger at http://www.marlow.com/ActiveDirectory.zip A good example of how to get info out of AD would be in the GetUserGroupsAndDomainControllers in the ADInfo class. To get more fields, take a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683980.aspx Hope this helps...

Stick this in Access and build a little .net search interface to it on the web. What permissions on the AD would I need? Whats the conenction strings or process? I can even connect to teh AD I can figure the rest out. Martin Martin WP Reid Training and Assessment Unit Riddle Hall Belfast tel: 02890 974477
