You may use

Environ("COMPUTERNAME")

which can be manipulated or

Hi Stefan,
thank you very much this works great. One more thing, is there another
function that can read the userid logged on the network? not access but the
network itself.
thanks

You can get the current network logon name with:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm

And, the current computer name with:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0009.htm

And, if using ms-access security, then currentuser() will return the
ms-access logon.

I often log all 3 of the above values in some applications.
