[RESOLVED] Calling user

[jggtz]

Hi all!
We have a vb6 application exe that is in a shared server directory
All the user have a link to that exe
It's there a way (inside the exe) to know which user is executing the exe?
Something like Environ function but for a shared exe
Welcome to any idea or link
Thanks
(We have the source files also)

You can use GetUserName api function (declaration below) and log it a local file or better yet database with start/end date and time.

Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Thanks Rhinobull, that's what I wanted
I'll remember to search API functions
Here's the code in case someone need it

'General Declarations
Option Explicit

Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

Dim GUNlpBuff       As String * 255
Dim GUNret          As Long
Dim GUNUserName     As String
.
.
.
Private Sub Form_Load()

    GUNret = GetUserName(GUNlpBuff, 255)
    GUNUserName = Left(GUNlpBuff, InStr(GUNlpBuff, Chr(0)) - 1)
    MsgBox GUNUserName

End Sub
