I'm going to be using Access on a Network and have a question. I would
like to know how I can get Access to identify which computer is running
it. I want a different form to come up on different computers and I
need to have Access identify the computerits on so that it may bring up
the proper form. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

If you need to identify the current user you can use:
Environ("UserName")

If you need to identify the computer itself you can use
Environ("ComputerName")

Thanks, this should be enough to get me going.

Just had to reply back. I made a Form with an Unbound Textbox on it. I
put =Environ("ComputerName") on the Control Source and Wwala!!!! It
Worked!!! Easy as pie. Thank You
