environ username vs. application username
This works only if you are logged in to a network domain.

get the following error:
Run-time error '-2147023541 (8007054b))':
Automation error
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
when i press the debug button, i the code is displayed with the following
highlighted:
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objSysInfo.UserName)

i am using the following codes to obtain a user name:
Function ThisUser()
ThisUser = Environ("UserName")
End Function
Function MyName()
MyName = Application.UserName
End Function
both work, ThisUser returns my login id (ex. jat) and MyName returns my name
that i have entered in Excel's Personalization area (ex. jat man)
What i would like is to get the MyName to be retrieved from my actual
profile. When i go to Start, my name shows at the top (first last name), and
that is set up when my profile is created. How do i retrieve this in a macro?
