MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / October 2004capturing the login name or ID
Is there a way that VBA can get the login name or ID the user entered to log in to Windows 2000, without requiring the user to reenter it in Access 2002? I need to restrict access to certain forms in an application depending on the users' department, and since Windows 2000 already has their login name, I'd like to avoid asking them to enter it again when they're in an Access application.

Thanks in advance, Paul Hi Paul, First link should be exactly what you need and the second link may also be something you could use sometime as well.

Seems like this is a much better way to identify the user than having them type their username in again after they've already logged in to Windows. Thanks so much for your help with this, Jeff. You're welcome, glad to help.
