Thank you! This really shouldn't be so difficult!

Thanks again.

Ross,

You can use a function like the following:

Function MyUserName() As String
MyUserName = Environ("UserName")
End Function

I have seen on rare occassion the Environ return an empty string. The
following code is a wee bit more complex but will always work.

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

Function MyUserNameAPI() As String
Dim UName As String
Dim L As Long
Dim R As Long
L = 255
UName = String$(L, vbNullChar)
R = GetUserName(UName, L)
MyUserNameAPI = Left(UName, L - 1)
End Function

Could someone please tell me how I can find out what my network login
name is in VBA?

I do it all the time in .net, but there's no 'Import' in vba and I
haven't a clue what to reference to be able to get the current user's
network name (not the application username).

I thought I almost had it with:

Set orootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
MsgBox orootDSE.get("currentuid")

but 'currentuid' isn't correct.

Thanks,

Exasperated
