I want to allow multiple users to run my *.mde file on a
terminal server. However, I use a custom login system
within my database that currently puts the userID in a
*.mde table. With multiple users running different
versions on the same PC, this will no longer work and I
need to keep track of which user is running each running
version. I could pass the name from form to form, but
that is very cumbersome. Is there a way to use global
variables for this purpose? Or is there something
better? I don't want to go outside of the database
environment and use Windows data.
 
You can keep the current user information in a local Table (in the
application database), in a Global Variable declared outside a
Function in a general Module, or in a Control on a Form that stays
open (but hidden) while the application is running.
