Network Login and Access

Hi,

Is there a way, from Access to get the user name of the
person who is logged in to the system. I'm trying to set
up restrictions based on username and don't want the user
to have to enter a useranme and password for my Access
Application.

Check http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm at "The Access Web".

Note, though, that knowing the user's network Id doesn't provide any measure
of security (unless you're using an MDE), since they'll strictly be able to
code into the code and get around any restrictions you may have implemented.

Thanks for the quick response. I know this won't provide
a high level of security, but the people I work for are
easily impressed.
