I need to capture the Windows User Name and store it for
future reference using Access 2000. In a form, I have a
text field with a default value of =CurrentUser() and the
application returns "Admin" regardless who the user is.

Does any one have any information or have the code to
capture the user name from the Windows authentication
user name, used when login into the network.

Your help is much appreciated, Joel.
 
Already answered in another group to which you posted the same question.
(Not sure, but I think it was microsoft.public.access)

If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)

If you're using Microsoft's web interface to post, please note that you can
type the names of the various groups into the Newsgroup box. Separate each
newsgroup name with a semicolon. Note that it's generally consider to be A
Bad Thing to cross-post to more than about 2 or 3 newsgroups. (In fact, at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2001/Mar01/Mar27pmvp.asp
Microsoft suggests that "One group will suffice")
