UserName?
Try;

'return network user name
Public Declare Function WNetGetUser Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetGetUserA" (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpUserName As String, lpnLength As Long) As Long

Public Function NetUserName$()

Dim User$, nLen&, lret&

NetUserName$ = "No LAN"
nLen = 255
User$ = String$(nLen, 0)
lret = WNetGetUser(vbNullString, User, nLen)
If lret = 0 Then NetUserName$ = Left$(User$, InStr(User, Chr$(0)) - 1)

End Function

Why google? I've certainly shown how to do it in this very forum on several occassions. So a keyword search here should suffice. Here, I'll do it for you ... here we go, a thread with both a classical API solution AND a WMI solution: thread222-874992

For background information, you may find these links helpful:

is Microsoft's msdn page on WMI, and

has VB Script samples for each of the objects, which are easily modifiable to VB.
