Hi, Take a look at the following links...
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020130.htm http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi.htm I am still not very clear about what exactly your are trying to do. That is may be because I personally haven't done this before. Still I would like to assist you if you elaborate further. Need to take a look at the code. That way, can suggest you ways to build a directory-tree like tree. I need to know how your are retrieving the group names and then how you are enumerating the names of users in that group. Regards Ajit -----Original Message----- From: excel-macros@googlegroups.com [mailto:excel-mac...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 10:08 PM To: MS EXCEL AND VBA MACROS Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Use VBA to determine Windows Groups permissions for a folder I currently have a VBA function that, supplied with the name of a Windows Group, retrieves the names of the members of the group. (it uses GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain & "/" & strGroup & ",group")) Using this info, I do a variety of things, including notification of changes to the contents of the folder. This works fine for the network shares that I own, because I know the names of the Windows groups assigned to each share. But now, I am challenged by the need to first use VBA to determine the names of the Windows Groups and levels of permissions for a specific file/folder. THEN expand the groups to process the members. (I have to customize the notifications based on the level of read/ write permissions) I located a VBScript that seems to use WMI, but cannot get it to work in VBA. Has anyone done something like this? ..... And before you ask... using the GUI to pull 4,000 names and copy/paste them into a spreadsheet and remove duplicates is NOT a solution! thanks, Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
