8. Create a new module.
9. On the Tools menu, click References, and make sure the following references are selected:
   Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
   Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.1 for DDL and Security
10. Type the following function in the module:

       Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
    
       conn.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
       conn.Properties("Jet OLEDB:System database") = "C:\Test\System.mdw"
       conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=c:\test\Northwind.mdb;" _
          & "User Id=Admin;Password=password"
       conn.Open
       Set cat = New ADOX.Catalog
       cat.ActiveConnection = conn
       For Each grp In cat.Users(m_sUserID).Groups  '<== error occurs here
          Debug.Print cat.Users(0).name
