Sounds like the Accounts' usernames were not changed "correctly" somehow.
Works for me with just log-off/on; correctly username is returned.
Are you sure the usernames were actually changed ?

Yes.

Environ("username") returns 'weakuser' for weeks. Users' computers are
turned off daily.

thanks

Hi folks,

An IT administrator 'created' 10 PC with windows XP with 2 users,
namely "administrator" and "weakuser", with an imagedisc. Later
administrator logged in to every computer and changed the account name
of the user from 'weakuser' to the real name of a person who uses that
computer (e.g. Smith, Shepard, etc).

The interesting thing is that Environ("username") on every PC returns
'weakuser', not the real name. Is it possible to find the login (Smith
or Shepard or etc.) in VBA?
