Hi,

Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Public Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long


Hope it helps

Jimmy

Jimmy, do you know how to get an IP address of a user on a network by user/login name?

Hardcore, you would retrieve the IP after matching the user with a computer name. The address can be extracted fairly easily. Please post this question in the appropriate forum, since it is off-topic here.

Actually, the entire contents of this forum are off-topic. I just got tired of red-flagging every post. That isn't a very good way to foster discussion. Let's talk about this in the VB or C forums.
