Trying to get Users Full Name from Network

[Mtlca401]

I can get the users computername, username, operating system and a few other things, but I am having trouble getting the full name of the user. I've tried using a code with API's in it like apiNetGetDCName, apiNetUserGetInfo, and apiGetUserName but it does not return the full name. I am beginning to think that you can only retrieve the full name based on how the network is set up.

I just want to know how to get the full name.

thanx

Oh,
Also I'm using Access 97' and Windows 2000

Make a users table. Store their username in all-lowercase (or all-uppercase, whichever you prefer), and store their fullname.

Then make a function that queries the table for a user's full name, and returns it.

Yes, this is what I've done at least once (that I remember). And it works fine.


Or you can try polling the network. See:

I had a few people here at work do that. I know how to do it too, I just wanted to pull it straight from the Network. It seems like this is not that possible for access97.

Thanx anyway though.
