Is This an Environ Function and Windows 95 Problem?

[joanl]

Hi,

I was wondering if this is a Windows 95 and Access 97 compatibility problem.

I have an Access 97 database where I had a textbox set to display the person entering the data (using the Eviron "UserName" function). I am using Windows 2000, but the users in another building have Windows 95. I can see the User Name on my computer, but the users in the other building see nothing in the textbox.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

I don't think Windows 95/98/ME create the UserName environment variable when you log on, the way Windows NT/2000 do. I don't know about XP either way.

I once (a long time ago) did a NetBIOS call, I think, to get the user name. Maybe that is a lead for you. Rick Sprague
