Windows Identity

[Guest]

Can someone tell me how I can get the name of the current user logged into
windows and put it in a text box in my data access page?

It depends on your network... but have a look at

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm

If this doesn't suit your needs, post back with more info about your network
(software version....)

Thank you for the reply.
Im pretty new at this whole coding thing. can you tell where i need to put
this code? do I put it as an onclick event in the scripting or as a module??

So after I finished posting the last message I went back and actually read
the top of the page and saw what to do.
I made a new module and called it Username and pasted the following code:
Private Declare Function apiGetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Function fOSUserName() As String
' Returns the network login name
Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long
Dim strUserName As String
strUserName = String$(254, 0)
lngLen = 255
lngX = apiGetUserName(strUserName, lngLen)
If ( lngX > 0 ) Then
fOSUserName = Left$(strUserName, lngLen - 1)
Else
fOSUserName = vbNullString
End If
End Function

Then I went to my data access page and put in the following code in the HEAD
section in Script editor

<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onafterupdate for=CustomerName>
<!--

TellerID.value=fOSUserName()
-->
</SCRIPT>

TellerID is my message box I want the Windows User name in.
I am on a Novell network and everybodys windows username is the same as
thier novell username. So I just want to get the Windows name.
