We have a Web application that runs on our local intranet and uses basic authentication, and I like to get the logged on username from within my VB6 application.

I only want to return the Login name, I'm not interestind in the password as it is only for logging purposes. Basically my app is a Software Wedge for Barcode Scanning. I send the info to the Web app via SendKeys, but we want to log every scan per user for performance monitoring.

It was suggested that I might be able to do it using the Microsoft Active Server Pages Library, but I haven't managed to fathom this out yet

Any idea's on how I might get the username would be appreciated.
