Finding users email address from outlook ...

[cliffw]

I have a spreadsheet which I'd like to auto run an macro upon opening, capture the user's email address based upon which will then do a set list of custom actions dependant upon the user.

The "Everything else" I've got written but am having trouble being able to find the user's email address from outlook ...

I could use

application.username

but the 'username' is listed as an ID such as 'abc123' rather than the users name so I'd then need to hard code a translation that shows that 'abc123' = 'Clifford Wright' etc ..

anyone any ideas?

I did try;

Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim hello
 
hello = oApp.Application.UserName

but I think I'm mixing things up here plus I think the outlook username will also be 'abc123'

Any ideas how I can find the user's default email address?

Cheers

Dim OTL As New Outlook.Application
    Debug.Print OTL.GetNamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.AddressEntry
    Debug.Print OTL.GetNamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser.Name
    Set OTL = Nothing

but.. if this is a network environment... use this:

Debug.Print Environ("username")

in MOST cases that will work, and it will give you the current logged in user's "log in" name

and a less reliable way:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Debug.Print Application.UserName
End Sub

because that is whats in the apps settings and can be changed so I wouldnt use that.
