Hi Guys
Can anybody put me in right direction, as to how can i
get a user name , i mean how can i get a Login Name used to
log on a computer where the Exe is Running?

On Windows 2000 it's stored as an environment variable, so:
cUserName := GETENV("USERNAME&quot
should do it.

I don't think this is the case in 95/98 though. Ian Boys

try using NetName()

This will give you a workstation id followed by the
user id. I think the two fields are separated by a hash
'#' symbol.

Griff,
All it returns is workstation name in W2K. Mind you, thats what the Norton Guides say it will do.

In Windows 98 there is no 'automatic' USERNAME environemt variable, you have to create one. Create a small user logon script (batch file) which runs whenever the user logs on and sets an environment variable to the username, eg.

{EDWARD.BAT <-run when user Edward logs on.}
@WINSET LOGINNAME=&quot;EDWARD&quot;

winset.exe is a file on the Windows98 CD hidden somewhere in ADMIN or NETTOOLS. Do a search. It 'permanently' sets environment variables that are accessable from within DOS programs and must be copied to a PATH directory, eg C:\WINDOWS

Then in the program use:
cUserName := GETENV(&quot;LOGINNAME&quot

If you're not familiar with logon scripts have a look at the WindowsNT forum or Microsoft site. If the computer is only used by one person, it could be placed in AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
