Setting Public Const through Code

[EddyLLC]

Is there a way to set a Public Const once, through code at startup for example instead of running code to get it every time I need it. I have a function to obtain the computer username and I want to set a variable (public const) to that username when you enter the database. I have tried putting a statment like the one below in the function that runs a startup but error messages tell me it can't be in there. Invalid Attribute problems.

Public Const = ap_UserName()

Help!

Nope - public constants are constants -> meaning they are assigned et design time, not runtime.

Use a public variable in stead, and assign in your startup code.

Or simply use your public function ...

Hope This Helps, PH.
