Anyone know how to access the "Select Users" dialog in 2000 and XP?

I'm hoping there is an API or something.

Are you sure your answering the right post ? Wink

To clarify, The "Select Users" dialog is the one where you add user(s) to a group or to resources to grant, deny or specify access rights.

Not quite but close Wink

What I'm trying to do is have the ability to select users/groups from a domain or local PC and add them to a list for my app to use. This is for a menu system where the options that show in the menu(dialog popup) are dependent on who is accessing it.

Aslan, ever find the solution?

I am interested in this feature...

In the meantime maybe this thread would help?...

Well sort of ... I have to use dsquery and dsget (I'm in an Active Directory environment) to get a list of users and then display them in a custom dialog where they can be selected. Unfortunatley, this means that my app is storing the list along with the user's attributes instead of Windows, creating unneccessary overhead. I also have to the same thing for 'Groups' plus keep a separate list for each group that contain the group's users.

I'm sure that there is a better way, but I was running out of time to get the app finished and wasn't having any luck finding the answer.

As to your link, I need network users instead of local users
