Hi,
I am trying to get the computers ID when I load up a form. Does anybody know the code that lets you do this.

Thanks for your help

What do you mean by "Computers ID"?

Do you mean the machine name?

Use the GetComputerName API. The declaration to use is as follows . . .

Code: 
Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As LongDeclare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long


Hope that helps you out!
