I want to have a field in a form produce the name of the W2K login in use, or the machine name of the person looking at the form. So for example, a hidden field that logs the name of the person or PC that was used to make the entry of the other fields on the form.

Any ideas? Michael Phipps

set the "default value" property of the hidden form to =Environ("USERNAME")
