Can I use windows log on in Access applications

[$ab]

I want to set up security for an access application, but I want the users to
use their current windows log on. Is that possible? and if so how?

Yes, you can.. check out the following website for a module to do that.

You can capture the Windows Login User name by using the code
found here:

However, if you are thinking that Windows security can integrate with
Access ULS, then No, I do not believe this is possible. You would
have to create your custom groups and then create the users using
their network login ID.
