One of my databases interfaces to a third party SQL Server. I need to link to a view in the database, and then display that view in a subform. This all works for me and my client "boss", since we both have administrator rights, but regular users of the database get "no permissions" kinds of error messages when they try to view the data. Is it possible to have a Windows (domain) user group control access to such a view? My concern is that the client already has to deal with adding users to the domain groups, and I don't want to add another SQL Server layer to that maintenance. If SQL Server can say "anyone belonging to Windows user group XXX can access the view, that problem would be avoided. If it can be done, can you provide a brief description of how. This is an existing database, controlled by a third party (payroll service), and I am not looking for the nitty gritty, just a generalized one paragraph explanation if that is possible. John W.
