I need to interact with active directory from Access 2003.
Is this done via a reference or a control in the toolbox?
Any help/pointers appreciated

Could you be more specific as to your objective? Are you wanting to create
permissions for files or authenticate or ???

in Windows 2000, you could use WMI / WBEM ODBC connector in order to
right-click and browse objects in active directory.. it just look a
little WMI query sometimes.

Of course, MS removed this feature rather than fix the security
problems.. and now they're going to sell the same feature back to us
10 years from now probably
