I have a form in MS Access with a control that prefills on startup with the current username from Windows.
I have a module.
The control source for the form is a query related to an Employee table. I have the tblEmp.UserName criteria set to = fOSUserName().
This works great.
The problem is on some PC's the form's username control populates and on other PC's it doesn't.
Tried Environ ("Username") as well with same result.
When checking the code in the immediate window of a problem machine the username populates. It just doesn't seem to like it in the query criteria.
Any ideas??
I have a module.
Code:
Private Declare Function apiGetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function fOSUserName() As String
' Returns the network login name
On Error GoTo Err_fOSUserName
Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long
Dim strUserName As String
10 strUserName = String$(254, 0)
20 lngLen = 255
30 lngX = apiGetUserName(strUserName, lngLen)
40 If (lngX > 0) Then
50 fOSUserName = Left$(strUserName, lngLen - 1)
60 Else
70 fOSUserName = vbNullString
80 End If
Exit_fOSUserName:
Exit Function
Err_fOSUserName:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.DESCRIPTION
Resume Exit_fOSUserName
End Function
The control source for the form is a query related to an Employee table. I have the tblEmp.UserName criteria set to = fOSUserName().
Code:
SELECT tblEmp.Username, tblEmp.Customers, tblEmp.Quotes, tblEmp.IDLaborcosts, tblEmp.MgMachines, tblEmp.MgFoil, tblEmp.SecondProcess, tblEmp.IDIncidentals, tblEmp.StockList, tblEmp.DIncidentals, tblEmp.ColorType, tblEmp.CutParameters, tblEmp.Admin, tblEmp.PrimProcess, tblEmp.StockView
FROM tblEmp
WHERE (tblEmp.Username)=fOSUserName();
