Req" Capturing Info help please

[jokerfool]

Is it possible to capture the users hostname or something when an app is loaded and have that information sent to a text file sitting on a domain, is this possible?

Thank you.

Do you mean the one returned by the gethostname function?

The gethostname function retrieves the standard host name for the local computer.

Yes, how do I implement that into vb6 and write the info to a file ?

Private Declare Function gethostname Lib "ws2_32.dll" (ByVal Name As String, ByVal NameLen As Long) As Long

Private Function GetNameOfHost() As String
    Dim sBuffer As String * 256

    If gethostname(sBuffer, 256&) = 0& Then
        GetNameOfHost = LeftB$(sBuffer, InStrB(sBuffer, vbNullChar))
    End If
End Function

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Open strDomainPath For Output As #1
        Print #1, GetNameOfHost
    Close #1
End Sub
