Steve,
In VFP 6 there is no way to specify an interface. You get the default. In VFP 7, createobjectex and getobject have been modified to allow the specification of an interface.

As for what you are trying to do, I haven't read the whole thread but not all properties documented under MSDN are supported in all providers. For example, the following properties are supported under the NT Namespace for the IADsUser interface:

Description
FullName

AccountExpirationDate
BadPasswordAttempts
HomeDirDrive
HomeDirectory
LastLogin
LastLogoff
LoginHours
LoginScript
LoginWorkstations
MaxLogins
MaxPasswordAge
MaxStorage
MinPasswordAge
MinPasswordLength
objectSid
Parameters
PasswordAge
PasswordExpired
PasswordHistoryLength
PrimaryGroupID
Profile
UserFlags

NDS (Novell) supports some of these and others. Perhaps the EmployeeID is one such property.

HTH.

>I found some documentation that looks like I need to use the IADsUser interface to get access to these properties. I'm not sure if using the IADsUser interface means that I need to use a different method to create my object. I found the following C++ sample.

> BSTR bstr;
> hr = pUser->get_FullName(&bstr);
> printf("User: %S\n", bstr);
> SysFreeString(bstr);
> return pUser;
