Technically "doable" Craig is spot on mentioning multiple groups. Unless there is an admin with positive interest in your app it might not be advisable ;-))
But why not give basic secured access to your app via AD and restrict visible area (site #?) via login name ?

That is, when user John Smith loads the application, the value of "Site Number" (hidden from the user in a table) is set to the application object. And based on this Site Number the user will have a restricted access. Therefore, if AD is the way to go, I would need to give the VFP Administrator a tool to set each user (from AD) to a Site. Maybe this is not possible; this is why I am asking.
