    Re: Domain

    What's your platform? NT has API functions available to do this, but Win9x does not.

    Re: Domain

    NetAPI32.dll has a function called NetWkstaUserGetInfo which, when called with the parameter "level" set to 1101 return a space seperated list of domains accessed by the workstation. This may work for you. I've never used it in VB, so maybe someone who has can help you with the call.

    Re: Domain

    i'm running Win NT workstation 4 (sp3). i don't have a provider hive under the security hive. In fact, my security folder is empty. could it be permissions? I'm not sure how that could be, I am in the admin group on the local machine.

    oh well.

    Re: Domain

    Maybe do an Edit...Find on your registry for the name of your domain?

    Re: Domain

    I found it in these two places:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\CachePrimaryDomain

    Just FYI.

    Thanks,
    john
