A number of users that are currently using a spreadsheet I have developed
have found that when launching ANY Microsoft Office product, the licensed
user has now changed to my name.

This also means that when a user is in the workbook on a shared area/drive,
and a second user attempts to open the workbook - the box stating that the
'file is in use by' has my name in and not the users.


The spreadsheet uses VBA to create a tool bar on the fly, deleting it when
the workbook closes. None of my code directly writes to the registry.

Are there any known issues that could cause this problem?


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with.


Darren.

Do you use application.Username in the code?

I suspect you are trying to us it as a comparison and it is being
interpreted as an assignment.

No, I dont believe so.

I do however, use the code to open a new workbook and transfer deails from
the original to the new via copy/paste.

That was a guess anyway. I would suspect it uses the login name for that
message anyway. I don't see how code would affect it unless you were doing
something exotic.

Tom,

Having checked the code again, I have noticed that when the new workbook is
open, I have specified that the user name is my own name.

I assume this has caused the problem and that my name must be entered into
the registry for microsoft applications.

Thanks, for your help.
