Simple script to get machine name

I am looking to do some debugging for an application. It's got a hole
where I can't see who is logging in. I am looking for a very simple, self-
contained vbs program to capture the maching name and/or person logged into
it to display it in a message box. I can call the script from some
embedded code in the application but I don't have the first clue as to vbs
syntax. Once upon a time I was decent with VB6, but it's been several
years.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it matters, the workstations will all be Win 2000 or WinXP.

TIA,

jerry
 
Doug,

Thanks for the reply. I had actually found that procedure, and it seems to
make sense. But here's where the 'stupid part' of the question comes in -
I don't have access to visual basic, so I am just trying to do a vbs
program. I thought, naively I am sure, I could just drop that into a text
editor, save it as a vbs and run it, but it obviously doesn't work. To me
this looks like a procedure that I would drop into a vb project and compile
it, then use it. I just want to know how to have this alone be the
entirety of the program.
 
Sorry: I missed the reference to VBScript. Why would you ask in a newsgroup
related to VBA if you're using VBScript?

I have no idea what newsgroups you have access to through AccessMonster.com,
but microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript would probably be a better place to
ask. On the other hand, a quick Google found

Thanks, this was late last night when i joined and i got here by a link
from a search for "vbscript foums". Somehow didn't even notice VBA...

Ok, off in search of the right location - and thanks for the suggestions
thus far.
