Obtain CurrentUser() info from Novell Signon

[Guest]

I operate on a LAN that uses Novell Netware for security logins.

I am building a Access Db with user level security. In the tables I use the
User's IDNumber to identify users. To gain access to our computers, all
users must sign on with their IDNumber and a Novell password. Is there a way
to obtain that IDNumber from the Novell sign on and assign it as
CurrentUser() in my forms?

No, there isn't (nor can you use the Windows login ID)

I use a shortcut to MSACCESS.exe something like this:

c:\MSACCESS.exe /wrkgrp c:\mywrk.mdw /user %user%

Which picks up the USER environment string. I have no passwords defined in
the workgroup.

When we were using Novell, we used the Novell single login utility to do
more or less the same thing, except that it did a Novell look-up for the
user name instead of using an environment string.
