How to make name or initials auto populate into a form text field

[tontenn]

Hi Guys

Been a while since I have needed to come on and ask a question.

I am updating our database and many staff have asked if when a record is changed that not only does the timestamp change but they want to have their name or initials be saved to show the last person that worked on the record.

is their a very simple way to do this???

I thought you could maybe use the data that is created when you open a any office program but not sure how to do it.... Your basic advice would be appreciated

If your uses need to log in to an application to change the data then it's very easy, if not you could possibly use the username of the user logged onto that machine (which isn't much more difficult to aquire).

Hope this helps
