From what I understand, that usually means the account name is not unique. Another
possibility is that the primary group ID field may be bogus? Wish I had more to
offer. Think either could be the case?

The account name I know is not unique as I checked before I added the user.
The primary group ID could be the cause but, I'm using the same values as in
the Access application so I can't understand why it would work in Access but
not this VB app.

Well then, what's the question? You can't add more than one user with the same
account name. Problem solved?

*not* should not be in there...the account name *is* unique. My mind was
apparently fried when I typed that.

Friends don't let friends play with Net* APIs when in that state. ;-)
