>>>First, general AD question. Is each user name in the AD unique? That is, there is only one JOHN SMITH and next person with the same name would have to be somewhat different; e.g. JOHN SMITH2?
>>>
>>>Second question. Can you get ALL user names in the AD from a VFP 9 application? If yes, how?
>>>
>>>TIA
>>
>>For you second question this may help, it verifies the existence of a user, but you can easily change it to list all the users.

>Thank you very much for the sample code. I will create a test and try it on a customer AD (I don't have one to test on my PC)
