In fact, on that count, you are basically channelling mayayana word for word. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

(If not, what should be the obvious answer is, � because Paul's here!) Yes, it's amazing how much mind control I can exercise with just my newsgroup presence. I can induce anyone to start spewing about .NET without even mentioning it myself. I guess they just can't help themselves. ;-) Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

I offered two suggestions, both of which where relatively easy to code (which is why I mentioned them). One used the script method and the other used ADSI. Mayayana suggested the Windows API. Easy enough to let the OP decide which method to use, but no, someone had to get their undies in a bundle over my suggestions Unlike .NET (sorry) there are no native functions or components in VB 6.0 that enable you to do this.
