I have an example of code that requests information about a specific user from active directory. I just dont know where to put my specific network information in for the example info. Can anyone help me? Where in this code do I need to substitute my info? Do I replace loginname below with the name I plan to search for?
Public Function UserInfo(LoginName As String) As String
'PURPOSE: Display information that is available in 'the Active Directory about a given user
'PARAMETER: Login Name for user
'RETURNS: String with selected information about 'user, or empty string if there is no such 'login on the current domain
'REQUIRES: Windows 2000 ADSI, LDAP Provider 'Proper Security Credentials.
'EXAMPLE: msgbox UserInfo("Administrator")

Dim sDepth As String
Dim sQuery As String
Dim sAns As String
Dim user As IADsUser

Not really sure what the rest of the code is, but at the point where you need the user information:
[code]
...
Dim sInfo As String
sInfo = UserInfo([italic]NameOfUser[/italic])
...
[/code]
I suggest you put the UserInfo function code in a module.

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry

By the way, is that the only place I need to change information that you can see?

So basically, you just add that function to a module unchanged.
Then when you need it, you let the function work it's magic by calling it with the right username.

Do you think I can run the code in standalone only putting in my specific domain information? I want to use this code to extract specific information from AD that the GUI wont. Got any ideas?
