How do I get user information for people using the data
base? I don't want to have to set up user groups in the
security section.
The database will be used through a Citrix environment and
I would like to get the Citrix user name. If not that
then maybe just the machine name to keep track of users
that access the database.

Thanks in advance.

The following should work for User Name - just substitute the
fOSMachineName() function if you're going for Computer Name:

1. Create an unbound text box on your form.

2. In the Control Source property, insert:

=fOSUserName()

3. Set the Enabled property to False so that the user cannot change it.
 
Thank you Cheryl!!!! This works perfect and it gives me
the information that I need. Now all I have to do is
create a way to write that to a table with login time.

Thanks for your help!
