I assume you are talking about CurrentUser in Microsoft Access???

If you don't use Access Security, the CurrentUser Method _always_ returns
"Admin" (note that this is Access user "Admin" which has nothing to do with
your local PC "Admin"). The reason is that without Access security, Access
users will use the default user which is "Admin".

If you are trying to get your Windows network LogIn, try The Access Web:
