Novell Network UserName in Windows2000

[rbooker]

When I run my Paradox 8 forms on a Win2k laptop connected to a Novell 4.11 network, sysInfo() returns "Administrator" as the UserName instead of the Novell network user id.

I limit access to certain features of my forms based on the network user's id. How can I get Paradox to recognize the Novell network user id under Windows 2000?

Thanks to all who reply.

Try using getNetUserName() instead of sysinfo. I use that on XP/Novell with no problems. Other than that, you can get the user information from the registry directly.

Code

myname = getRegistryValue("Software\\Novell\\Location Profiles\\Services\\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\\Default","UserName",RegKeyLocalMachine)

(this will vary depending on the Novell client used)

;or

myname = getNetUserName()


EndCode

Hope this helps.

Thanks Langley;

The getRegistryValue() method worked.

getNetUserName() returned Administrator.
