I am using Excel for our National Guard unit on a LAN system. The spreadsheet
I created several of us use but not in a shared mode. Some users when they
Insert a Comment in the cell it inputs their name, which we want, some users
it simply inserts "USAF User"

I assume it looks at who is signed into the LAN but each of us has to do
that just to get to the spreadsheet so why does it insert some users names
and some it doesn't ?

Thanks
 
Excel 2003 uses whatever is in Tools, Options, General, User name. Some
companies preset it to the company name. Some users put their preferred
name in. If neither are present Excel uses the LAN login name.
