Default Authentication Coding Help

I am working on a web project for my department where users go to view their reports. I have a default login page where they type username and password. Everything is done and working well but now they want to use their machine username and password, i.e. the same password and username they use to logon to windows instead of using the access database username and password. How do I write a code to use windows authentication to retrieve information in access database in ASP? Should I put this code in the default page? Any help?
Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure that this is possible within asp. If it is i still dont thnik you could do it, presumably your web system runs of a server. This server i imagine will not have access to each users machine, therefore would not be able to gain the authentication information.

Would it not be easier and simpler, if the users who need access to your system, simply provide you with the details that they wish to use (windows authentication) and you manually update the database with these access details?
