Adding Windows Username to a Database

D

DirkG

Hello,

I am trying to add the Windows login / Username to a database while using
forms. The users are using Windows XP, the webserver is on Windows Server
2003.

Now, because of the quantity of users, the website policy is anonymous. This
means that users do not login to the website. But they DO login to the
computer.
I know there is a possibility to add the OS username to a database while
using the string %USERNAME%, unfortunately for me, it was quite unsuccessful.
Can anyone please help me out?

Many thanks,
Dirk

Unless they log in to the web site, you cannot obtain this information.

Correct. And the server (IIS), site or web folder must be set up for
Windows integrated authentication.
