Hi Francesguan,

Even the simplest questions require a little more info.

Which version of Crystal are you using?

Which 'username' were you wanting to show? CE User / Windows User etc etc

I recall CRXI Had a special field for CE user if I remember correctly.

Frances:

In order to get Windows User Name to show up in your report, you are going to have to look at a tool like CUT Light from Millet Software:

Not that I've ever found with 9.

You could conceivably get the database user name if you could rewrite the query to include it. That's the way I'd try if I had access to the database. That's what I'm currently using in the few reports I'm doing this with.

But I don't think you can get this from crystal 9.
