From what I have researched this may be because the user doesn't have the environment variables set on their computer.
In that case I might just use the GetUserName API call instead.
I would still like to know why the Environ function isn't working...
I have an application where I'm authenticating the user based on their windows logon at startup.
This works great except for VPN users offsite have complained that they are not able to be authenticated even though they are using the same logon as they would normally.

Without looking at your query, and it might be a good idea to post it, you might do a left join on the table that has the val column. A left join would display all values...
The main reason to migrate to .NET is to web enable the applications and to enable the customer to be able to run their own reports across the web. Also, they want to provide demos of applications in a customer portal area.

I called up the company and explained that I had gotten cold feet and that I would like a second chance to prove to them that I could do this job. I told them that I didn't want to look back on life with regret that I backed away from a great opportunity.

The guy who interviewed me was a CEO and he didn't have any technical knowledge. He was not able to put bullet holes through my knowledge base by asking a lot of technical questions.

Well, it is too late at this point. I feel I need to get better in order to take a job like that. I think in another year I will be ready.
And actually they aren't looking to replace me at the job I am at now. The other developers were happy because they had frightened looks on their face...
