Does anyone know how to create a User Login function that will authenticate the user name and password against the local windows user database? Against the domain?

If they can run your app they've already been authenticated have they not?

I need the ability for users to login to my app. My app should authenticate users against the windows user database.

You have to go through API for this (LOGONUSER()). Search through VB forum to get samples on that API.

you would think there is managed code to do this built into the framework?

Yea ... no idea what those engineers in M$ are thinking or maybe it is there except it is so hidden that no one knows about it
