I have downloaded the AutoFEUpdater from granite.ab.ca/access/autofe and so
far I am vey impressed. However I have a question I was hoping someone could
help with. The StartMDB.exe identifies an admin user by the workstation name
provided in the AutoFEUpdater.INI file.
Does anyone know how to make it look at the PC sign-on instead of or in
addition to the PC workstation name?

Thanks for any help

I always use Environ("Username")

Environ("Username") does not work in an INI file, or at least it does not
work in the INI file that links to the StartMDB.exe GUI from Tonys
AutoFEUpdater.

In the .INI file, use %USERNAME%

(Much like the %APPDATA% variable... refer to environ variables by encasing
with %)

So, I tried that, entering my user name between the %'s, %SE15298%, to no
avail.

I also tried;
%USERNAME%\SE15298 and
%USERNAME%\%SE15298% and
%appdata%\SE15298 and
%appdata%\%SE15298% with no success.

Could there be anything else I could try to make the INI file identify an
admin by the PC Log on ID?

Looking more closely at Tonys instruction page, he has not cared for username
access in the application yet so no matter what is tried on the INI file, it
is not set up to look at usernames, only workstation name currently.

Thank you for the suggestions.
