Help !!! - Computer Name....

[venado]

Hi,

Can someone tell how to get the Computer and User name from within visual foxpro. I know in Visual Basic there is API call to GetComputerName but this doesn't work in Foxpro.

Any suggestion? or Example..

Thanks

sys(0) will return (in this Format)
Computername # Login

I usually assign this to a variable to be used later in the Main program something like this.

Clogin=upper(substr(sys(0),at('#',sys(0))+2,len(sys(0))))
Cworkstation= upper(left(sys(0),at('#',sys(0))-1))

API calls that you made in VB can also be made in VFP. the way they are declared and the var types are differnet.
