Re: Obtain and use UserName from .ldb file???

Doug,

Thanks but it's still not working (WinXP Pro). I run the command in the DOS window, no response, no error message. I leave the DOS window open, go back to Access VBA immediate window, type ?Environ("Username") and get the original Windows logon name, no change taken place. A version thing maybe?

Regards,
Nikos

If you use Set Username=abc (no quotes required), it'll be changed while that DOS box is open.
