Environ Question

[DS]

I'm trying to set the value of a field. TxtTerminalID with this coding
but it's not grabbing the terminalD.
I tried the default Value and the onOpen event, neither works.


Environ("TxtTerminalID")

Any HelAppreciated.

If the environment variable is terminalD and the text box bound to a column
is named TxtTerminalID, then you'd use it like this:

Me!TxtTerminalID.Value = Environ("terminalD")

Environ$("txtterminalID")

Thanks, This actually worked.
Me.TxtTerminalID.Value = Environ("ComputerName")

Environ$("txtterminalID")

Me.TxtTerminalID.Value = Environ("ComputerName")
but...
What is the $ sign after Eviron?
Thanks

If you are attempting to retrieve the computer name, then consider avoiding
Environ() in favor of a more reliable API call such as
