Thanks

Is there a formula?? (i.e a way without resorting to VBA? - Icould just
about cope with you suggestion - but the person I'm trying to help
couldn't...)

Create a UDF

Function ThisUser()
ThisUser = Application.UserName
End Function

and call like =ThisUser()

You could even get the logon user name, which is more robust

Function ThisUser()
ThisUser = Environ("UserName")
End Function

The user name is set in ToolsOptionsGeneral tab

How can I get that user name to display in a cell?
