You would do this in your code. Also, If you drop a text box on a form and set the controlsource to =Environ(29), this will return the username in that textbox as well.

Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Australia Posts: 300 Thanks: 0 Thanked 2 Times in 2 Posts No, the numeric code won't help you at all. Plus it isn't the same across all machines. The problem is Access's new "Sandbox" mode. It regards Environ() as an "unsafe expression", so will not let it run in queries. The way around it is to create your own function in VBA, that calls Environ("Username"), then use that function in your query. This was all covered on this forum recently (ie in the last few months), do a search. edit: because I'm feeling helpful, try here: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...ad.php?t=76173 Last edited by Adeptus; 10-03-2006 at 05:05 PM.

My guess would be a broken reference. Are you distributing the apps as MDBs or MDEs?

It does not work in query *or* Form expressions, such as the one shown in the Arguments section of your macro. Your workaround is using the Windows API call to get UserName (or ComputerName) Use

Data is written to Access 2000 or 2002 databases. It functions correctly within a Windows Vista 32 bit operating system without any issues. However when the same visual basic code is run on a Windows 7 64 bit operating system using Microsoft Word 2007, the following VB error is displayed: username2 = Environ("username") Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Tuesday, access 2007 environ January 14, 2014 3:54 PM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote When you say running VBA, I assume you means Access 2007? Access 2007 should run just fine and your command Environ() should work on both windows x32 and windows x64 without issue. It just not quite clear what verison of Access you have installed on the computer, or if in fact you are using Access at all? If you are using Access 2007, then I would check that the code compiles and no broken references (while in the VBA editor try debug->compile and ensure the applicaton compiles ok. If the above works I would perhaps check if sandbox mode is enabled and disable it. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/use-sandbox-mode-in-access-2007-HA010167429.aspx best regards, Albert D.

able to use the Environ (UserName) function in the default value field of a text box to have it display the users login name from Windows. I have put a database that I previously made (Access 2003/WinXP Pro) onto a machine running Win Vista and Access 2007. I get an error regarding the Environ function in the text box, and the username will not display. I had to remove the function in order to use the form, since the error would continually pop up if I moved to a new field on the form. Does this function still exist in Access 2007 and/or is there a modification to make it work with Win Vista? Thank you accessuser1308, Jun 20, 2008 #1 Advertisements Allen Browne Guest It might depend on the user's permissions. Here is an alternative (and more reliable) approach: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm It involves an API call to Windows, to ask what the user name is. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
