Find the login time of the current Windows user
Hi,
My goal is to be able to insert the login time of the current Windows user into a cell in Excel. I have searched the net extensively, but although there are plenty of ways to find the user NAME, i can't find any way to find the time that they logged in. Windows obviously records this info (it is displayed in the Windows Security box if you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del, as well as in event log etc etc). I am guessing I will need API calls which is fine, but I have no idea where to start. Any help appreciated, Ivan. |

Find the login time of the current Windows user
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the link, but unfortunately no. What I am trying to establish through code is the time the user logged in to Windows, not just Excel or the workbook. There must be some API call somewhere I'm sure to determine this, but I'm stuffed if I can find how or what, and although I am proficient in VBA, I haven't dealt much with API's to know where to start tinkering myself. Thanks anyway, Ivan. On Mar 29, 2:30*am, ryguy7272 wrote: Does this help? http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm....mspx?dg=micro...
