I'm dealing with only Windows 2000 and XP systems. Is there a way to get the username of the current user logged into the computer like you can with .net? With .net, I'd type my.user.name. Can I do that in VB6?

Thanks!

Perfect. username = Environ$("username") worked great. Thank you.

I'm not a big fan of using Environ for this sort of info, since it is not necessarily correct.

Thank you for the confirmation strongm. In the thread link above I mentioned that but was not sure if I was correct.
