returning current user from a web page?

[Atomsk]

Since I'm in a data access page and the method currentUser() is native to Access, I'm using the following:

MsgBox MSODSC.Connection.Properties("User ID&quot.value

to return the currently logged-on user. But even though I've already set up a workgroup, the line above (which is bound to a button) only ever returns the user "Admin" regardless of who I'm logged in as, or what groups that user is a part of. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

When the search function on Tek-Tips become usable again, run a keyword search on

current users

in the subject headline. Your problem has been discussed many times on the forum.

Good luck!

Seeing as how the search is down, could someone give me the gist of the problem/solution? I'm kind of in a hurry, thanks.

I took a line from one of your references and came up with this:

Dim username
Dim network
Set network = CreateObject("WScript.Network&quot
username = network.Username

...which returns the correct username. Thanks a lot.
