active directory

hey

i'm trying to pass to a report the info of the person who vieuws the report as stored in the active directory.

i have read many posts on the form and did a google on the subject and i found that there is a global parameter userid. this is not wat i need.

i also have read that you can use an oledb connection but i can't get it to work. i think the "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Active Directory Service" is not installed. (when i press edit next to connection string field, the option isn't available in the ole db provider list)

any help or thoughts would be apreciated.
thanks jens.

Addition: error i get

A connection cannot be made to the database.
Set and test the connection string.

Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 23. (System.Data)
