How to get System Variables ? 1

[lstephane]

Hi,

I need to trap Windows Username and Machine Name (as set into Windows) to build a log file.

How do I get theses informations into VB6 ?

Thanks !

If they are environment variables you can get them like so:

strUserName = Environ("UserName&quot

To get all of them, do this:

lngX = 1
Do While Len(Environ(lngX)) > 0
MsgBox (Environ(lngX))
lngX = lngX + 1
Loop

Good Luck!

Have a great day!

strongm or hypetia should be along quickly to explain why environment variables are unreliable.
