Can you use Groups and Users from Active Directory for permissions to an Access Database? I know how to set up workgroups and permissions through Access but I was just wondering if you could pull the users in through Active Directory.

Thanks
Kim

No, Access' security model is totally separate from AD. The closest thing you can do with AD permissions is set folder permissions (can limit someone to read-only access). Other than that: no.
