System login

[Guest]

I need to check users system login from with inside Access so I can diplay
different menus based on the system login. Any ideas?

See:
Network User Name

Presumably you are talking about the Windows user name, and not simply the
Access security login name that is available from CurrentUser().

Ron,

Environ("UserName") will return the user's Windows login name.

Environment variables are very easy to change. For that reason, I always
recommend not relying on it, but using the API call recommended by Allen
instead.
