[AccessD] Need Help With a Workgroup/Password

Hi Dan

After too many experiences of this kind and others, we bite the bullet and sat up Active Directory with two Domain Controllers on different locations. The attitude was "how hard can it be" but it is, not because it is difficult but you have to read up the stuff, learn the rules, play nice, and follow every step rigorously. 
But it pays back. Whenever a computer is "created" it is joined to the AD, and the Domain Admins' group automagically become member of the local Administrators' group.

In my system I have a permissions screen where the system owners (not IT)
can set up permissions for all the users (I'm not using the complex Access
user level security).  When someone is set up as a System Owner, they become
an Admin user, like I am.  This give them the ability to create new users by
adding their username to the User group, and in the background set up a
randomized one-time password which is emailed to the new user.  

What I never expected was for one of the System Owners to uncheck me as a
System Owner, which removes me as an Admin user.  The System Owners are not
experienced Access users - they just do what the screen lets them do.  And
what it no longer lets them do is remove me as a System Owner.  Lesson
Learned!  ;-)
