It's only working on my computer, when other users try to open my
spreadsheet, the username function does not work!?

Hello Ivory_Kitten,

VBA makes this information available through the global call
Application.UserName. The value returned is a string.

Here is a UDF you can use. You will need to add a VBA module to project
and place this code in it before you can use it.

1) Copy the code uing CTRL+C.
2) Open the Workbook you will be using.
3) Press ALT+F11 to open the VBA Editor
4) Press ALT+I to activate the Insert Menu.
5) Press M to insert a new Module into the Workbook.
6) Press CTRL+V to paste the code into the Module.
7) Press CTRL+S to save the Macro.
8) Press ALT+Q to close the VBA Editor.


Code:
--------------------

Public Function UserName() As String
Application.Volatile
UserName = Application.UserName
End Function

--------------------


B71 formula =UserName()
B71 will now show the name of the user currently logged on.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
