Collings,
You can get the computer name with the GetComputerName API
function. E.g.,
Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" _
Alias "GetComputerNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function ComputerName() As String
Dim CN As String
Dim L As Long: L = 255
Dim Res As Long
CN = String$(L, " ")
Res = GetComputerName(CN, L)
ComputerName = Left(CN, L)
End Function

I would like to build a form in Excel and code VB to write
the data to an output file. (which I feel confident that
I can do), but I would like to tie the output file name to
the computer name. By computer name I am referring to the
network computer ID, not the USER name from the office
application.
Is it possible to pull a computer's network name into VB?
This might be possible with HTML forms using CGI scripts,
but I don't know who to code CGI-BIN scripts.
TIA,
Collings
