Hi Tracy,

I don't want to retrieve the password. I want to pass a username and password and verify that it's valid. I was hoping that there was some form of server object call or API call to accomplish this. I know that IIS and ASP.NET can do this type of thing, but I think it's built in, and was hoping that VFP could as well.

Do you know how to retrieve the AD username? That might point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
