    Machine Name of Logged in User

    I want to be able to enter a username into a textbox and then click a command button and it tells me the machine name. How could I go about doing this?

    Use this API to get the computer name.
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" _
    (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
    
    Private Function ComputerName()
        
        Dim strCompName As String
        Dim strCN As String
    
        strCompName = String(255, Chr$(0))
        GetComputerName strCompName, 255
        strCN = InStr(1, strCompName, Chr$(0))
        strCompName = Left$(strCompName, strCN - 1)
        ComputerName = strCompName
        'OPTIONAL
        MsgBox "This Computer's Name Is: " & strCompName, vbOkOnly + vbInformation
    
    End Function
