Andreas, Scoty,

This doesn't seem to work for me. I don't know if it's because I am running Win2K or not, but there is no "Full" environment variable.

There are the usual others, like USERNAME, USERDOMAIN, USERDNSDOMAIN, etc - but no full name. Perhaps this is an environment variable which can be set at login, but is not necessarily required.

If you want to see which environment variables exist on your PC, try this:

1. Put a listbox (List1) and a command button (command1) on a form.

2. type the following code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim txtRealName As String
    Dim n As Integer
    For n = 1 To 255
        txtRealName = Environ(n)
        List1.AddItem txtRealName
    Next n
End Sub

HTH
