Hi Everyone,


I would like a program that can create global and local groups in NT and then assign users (with passwords and all) to these groups. Also, I would like to set permissions on files and folders dependent on the groups I have created. How do I do this?


Your help will be appreciated, thanks in advance

You'll have to use Windows API calls. These must be "imported" into VB using the Declare statement. I'm not sure what the APIs are, some of the WNet-prefixed ones might work.

Do you know any web sites that discusses Windows API calls in Visual Basic thoroughly?

The only references I seem to encounter are references to books which I am currently searching for. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any bookstores which have these books in our area.


Thank you very much for your help.
