I am currently in process of designing a slide/webpage in
powerpoint 2002 to act as a active desktop on our network
in school i have completed the hyperlinks and the button
to log off and all the fancy details all i need now is how
to display the current network user on the slide. If
anybody knows how to do this then your knowledge would be
greatly apreciated

Was I supposed to remind you of something? And what's with the tourniquet?

In VBA:

Msgbox Environ("Username")

So if you had a textbox named "CurrentUser" on slide 1:

ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("CurrentUser").TextFrame.TextRange.Text
= Environ("Username")

would put the current user's name into the textbox.
