This example demonstrates the GetObjectOwner and SetObjectOwner methods. This code assumes the existence of the group Accounting (see the Groups and Users Append, ChangePassword Methods Example to see how to add this group to the system). The owner of the Categories table is set to Accounting.

Sub OwnersX()

    Dim tblLoop As New ADOX.Table
    Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
    Dim strOwner As String

    ' Open the Catalog.
    cat.ActiveConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
        "Data Source=c:\Program Files\" & _
        "Microsoft Office\Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb;" & _
        "jet oledb:system database=" & _
        "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\system.mdw"

    ' Print the original owner of Categories
    strOwner = cat.GetObjectOwner("Categories", adPermObjTable)
    Debug.Print "Owner of Categories: " & strOwner

    ' Set the owner of Categories to Accounting
    cat.SetObjectOwner "Categories", adPermObjTable, "Accounting"

    ' List the owners of all tables and columns in the catalog.
    For Each tblLoop In cat.Tables
        Debug.Print "Table: " & tblLoop.Name
        Debug.Print "   Owner: " & _
            cat.GetObjectOwner(tblLoop.Name, adPermObjTable)
    Next tblLoop
    
    ' Restore the original owner of Categories
    cat.SetObjectOwner "Categories", adPermObjTable, strOwner

End Sub
