How do I insert the current username into a field?

[Guest]

I have a db with user-level security. I want to store the current username of
who modified a record using OnDirty, but don't know where to find it.

=CurrentUser()

CurrentUser()

OnDirty is not the right event. What if they dirty the record but then
press Esc to discard their change?

I suggest you use BeforeUpdate. That event is fired when the record is
dirty /and/ the user has asked Access to actually save the change.
