Hi all,

if I use:

application.username, I get the "Computers name"

how can I get the actual logged in user in the network?
something like:
application.currentlogin ??

I also need to know if there is any posibility that more than 1 user
can input data into the same excel file on the same time?

Thanks in advance.
Aldo.
