Hi all,

I am in tension because this particular code is not working in my
project.

ActiveCell.Value = Environ("USERNAME")

When I compile my project the cursor highlights this code and the
reference book gets open automatically. Please suggest.

Break the line up into to line to help find the problem. I think the active
cell is the issue. You may have a workbook that is opening on a chart page
and not a worksheet page which is giving you the problem, the cell is
protected, or you are trying to write to a merge cell and not using the first
cell or the merged group.

UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
ActiveCell.Value = UserName

tried it but it says compile error:

can't find project or libary.

Add a message box to find out what the UserName is set to.


UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
msgbox(UserName)
ActiveCell.Value = UserName


If there is no username being display you have to find out what
envirnomental properties are set in you PC.

From XP
Start - run
type in the run box the following : cmd.exe
A shell window will appear
Type this at the command prompt : Set
Your properties will be seen in this window.


From vista
Start - Search
In the Search box type : CMD
A shell window will appear
Type this at the command prompt : Set
Your properties will be seen in this window.

Go into the VB editor and click Tools/References from its menu bar (could
take a few seconds for something to happen, so don't panic if it does)... is
anything marked as "MISSING"? If so, put a check mark in its box, hit OK and
then try your code again.
