How can I get the user's full name that is signed into the computer. For
example, I'm looking to retrieve Bob Jones, not a LAN ID of axcbj. Any help
would be great.

Actually, it's probably http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0066.htm that
Chris should look at.

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm returns the LAN ID.
