Default Login Information

Arvind,

Here is a simple function that returns the network user id

Here is a function to do it

Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _
Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, _
nSize As Long) As Long

Public Function UserName() As String
Dim sName As String * 256
Dim cChars As Long
cChars = 256
If GetUserName(sName, cChars) Then
UserName = Left$(sName, cChars - 1)
End If
End Function

The cell could then use

=UserName()

HTH

Hi,
How can we get the user login information into a excel sheet.

If anyone opens a excel sheet stored in a server whenever the user opens

it,
a cell should display the user login name??

Can anyone help me on that.
Thanks

Arvind.
