environment variables

[Guest]

Good day All,
Does anyone know where I can get the full list of environment variable (args
for environ()) - (Doug, the API is good, but I need the environ$ list.)
thank you

The Environ() function returns whatever environment variables are defined.
How they get defined depends on a number of things.

To see what environment variables are defined on your machine, right-click
on the My Computer icon, and select Properties. Go to the Advanced tab, and
click on the "Environment Variables" button near the bottom.

Hi,
what operating system you have?
at me works:
?environ("username")
?environ("computername")

to get a list of all variables you can run Set at dos prompt

You can open a Windows command prompt (e.g. by using Start|Run and
typing
cmd.exe
). In the command window, type
SET
to get a list of the environment variables defined in that session
(which will probably but not certainly match those available to Access).

As I said before, how the environment variables get set depends on a number
of things.

It's possible that you're running a logon script that removes those
environment variables, since, as I've said before, they're not secure.
