Is it possible to leverage users and passwords from AD?

I am trying to setup some security on the database and would like to give
permissions to different AD users, but can't figure it out. My reasoning was
that I don't want to type or manage their password and I would like them to
use their AD authentication credentials.

Thanks for any information about this,

Tim Thorp
 
I don't know anything about AD, but perhaps this very neat trick from david
epsom dot com dot au might help:

Create a shortcut along the following lines:

"c:\msaccess.exe" "c:\myapp.mdb" /wrkgrp "c:\mywrkgrp.mdw" /user
%username%

This will start Access, automatically logging-on as the current user (as
determined from the environment). Of course, change the file path names to
match your own.

HTH,
TC
