1. Select the Modules tab of the Database window.

2. Click New.

3. Paste the code into the module.

4. Save the module with a name such as "basApiCalls".

You should now be able to use the function like any of the built-in
functions in Access.

I finally got this to work, based on the previous posts and
by reading the instructions. I have a text box for
retrieving this, and a field called SalesPerson which stores
it. I put this into the text1_on enter code

text1 = fosUserName
SalesPerson = text1

HTH-
