about that?

Insert user's logon name in to cell in worksheet
 

Hello Ivory_Kitten,

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

Here is a UDF you can use. You will need to add a VBA module to projec
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 Ros

You should be able to tell from the code what each part of information is
referring to.
Just change the Spanish text to whatever you want in English.

All you need is

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

It is not a good idea to use APplication.Username as the user can change
that, there is no consistency. On a network, the login name is usually
protected against change by an individual.

That means Excel cannot find the function "UserName", so the code is NOT on
a module, but on a worksheet or class module.
Move the code to a module in the WB in which it is used.
