If Not rs Is Nothing Then

If Not conn Is Nothing Then
If conn.State <> 0 Then conn.Close

End If
Set oRoot = Nothing
Set oDomain = Nothing
End FunctionI havn't tested it, but after googling for a bit i came up with it...i think that what you want....if not, just post and give us more info.

I'm in the midst of writing an interface for our old homegrown authentication and account management system to the active directory technology.
I would strongly suggest that you review ADSI (Active Directory Services Interface) in addition to your LDAP approach. I would also advice to bind to the object's GUID and not the canonical name. ADSI will make the process alot easier... give it a try, post back if you have problems.
