Guy,
If you are trying to put the value of this function into a cell on a sheet,
then make sure that the cell formula is

=User()

By the way, I usually prefer to name my custom functions something like
ufUser (for "User Function") just in case "User" is a reserved name in
Excel.

Salut,

I am trying to get a user defined functione to work in
excel and all I get is #NAME. I am using Office XP (Excel
2002)

I have simplified the function to a minimum (here is the
code):

Public Function User()
' Returns the name of the current User
User = Application.UserName
End Function


I have tried the following:

- Set Macro security to Medium and then to low.
- Digitally signed the code using a key generated by
SELFCERT.exe
- Everytime I have changed the secucrity settings I save
the spreadsheet, closed it and re-opened it.

So far nothing works can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks
