How do I use the following as the default value of a textbox in Access2003?
Environ$("USERNAME")

Resolution:

Create Module and insert the following code:

Function fOSUserName() As String
On Error GoTo fOSUserName_Err

Dim lngLen As Long, lngX As Long
Dim strUserName As String

strUserName = String$(254, 0)
lngLen = 255
lngX = apiGetUserName(strUserName, lngLen)

If lngX <> 0 Then
fOSUserName = Left$(strUserName, lngLen - 1)
Else
fOSUserName = ""
End If

fOSUserName_Exit:
Exit Function

Environ() As Login?

Mar 9, 2006

Hello,

I use Environ("Username") all the time, most frequently for logging who has done something to a record, and have once used it to log people into the database (very basic, much the same as logging who did what to records).

But I was wondering, how feasible is it as a security measure?

I often use it on the main menu of my DBs to give me a different menu (with more advanced options on) than other users.

Is it really that safe to use it as a means to allow people in, or stopping them? I know that obviously you have to stop them getting in other ways (holding shift for example), but assuming all of that is done, in theory, they should only be able to get in if they can log in as an authorised user?

Don't know why it is just struck me - just curious I suppose!

Network Environ Help

Nov 10, 2006

Hi everyone

I have searched for help on this forum and all over for a while but cannot find the help i need.

I have a database stored in my user area on a schools network. Other users around the school access the database by clicking on a shortcut to it found on their start menu. The database is not split with a fe/be and usernames and passwords are not required to log on, they simply click the link.

I would like to know how I can find out which users have the database open at any given time? I have a piece of software that tells me the computer name but that is no use, I need the users name. Is there a way of pulling this from the network because each user must first log on to their computer using their name and password before they can access the database?

Any suggestions appreciated
James

Environ Function In A97

Mar 10, 2005

i have a menu which recognises a user by using the environ function.

the problem i am getting is that with a small number of users the environ function isnt recognised by the system?

it gives them a #name# instead.

the crazy thing is that it also happens on simpler functions such as =Now() and =Date() which is really annoying, as these 3 things are a foundation on anything that is done within the system/!

the majority of users have no problems, which makes it even more annoying!

when i try to go into the properties of the label which has been assigned the function i get a message. (only on affected PC's)

see attached for pic

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. HELP IS REALLY APPRECIATED!

Username Problem

Dec 23, 2006

I have entered the following code to an onclick button. I am sure I have written it incorrectly (it's probably the line I highlighted below to do with username=Manager. By the way Manager is one of my usernames I have created.

Thanks for your help.

Rob

Private Sub Label218_Click()
If UserName = Manager Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "Tennis Teams", acNormal
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "You do not have permission to open this form!", vbOK, "Tennis Center Business Manager 2007"
End Sub

Windows Username

Jul 25, 2006

A couple of questions. I want my database to query the AD and make sure that the user trying to open the database had an account in the AD. I dont want them prompted for a password though. I have had a look at trying to change the example NT logon in the samples area, but just managed to get myself in a bit of a mess. Also is there anyway that you can query the users full name in AD and call that variable,or does this only work with the username?

Also, when a user created a record in a from, I would like the users username, called from the AD saved in a field in the table. I have tried this and the only way that I can call the variable is by having the "=Environ("USERNAME")" in the control source of the text box. Which means that it cant be save in a field in the table. I have also tried an after updated event on that textbox to update another textbox and have that textbox control source a field on the table. But again this doesn't work. Can someone tell me if what I am trying to do is possible. Thanks

Password/Username Help

Sep 26, 2004

I created a password for my database and now I cannot access it. The dialog box says that either the username or password may be incorrect. I do not know what the requested username is. I do not recall creating a username during the process of creating the password. I do not know what username ACCESS is asking for. I think I know what the password is. I think the problem is the username. However, if I somehow do not know the password, what can I do?

After you finish laughing at me, please help. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi all,

I've had a quick search but couldn't find the answer to this.

Is there a way that when a user launches the application via my workgroup file, the default login name is always null?

Currently it retains the last users' login name.

Username & Password Woes!

Jan 10, 2007

Hello!
I have a problem regarding using usernames and passwords to restrict access to certain tables/forms/reports etc....
I have read around the forum and various other websites but cant seem to get much relating to exactly what i am wanting to do.

I think i understand the way the access workgroup security works. But does this not just restrict users being able to view the database as read-only or with other certain rights like that? So, firstly would i be able to use this to restrict the database the way i want?

Or is there a way to create a table with names and passwords and create a form at the beginning where the user inputs their details and then according to the details gives/restricts access to parts of the database? Ideally i'd like the startup form to direct them to a different menu according to the user which gives them only the options they are allowed?

Seems a bit of a mouthfull and i sound like a complete newb but i been trying to figure this out all day!!
Thanks

Unique Username Routine

Jun 8, 2006

Hello,
I was wondering if you have one or have seen a routine to generate unique
username from first, middle and last names. Here is my requirement -
by default first initial and last name of a user is their username.
But if the expected or default username is already taken then if the
user have middle initial, then the username for this user would be
first initial, middle initial and lastname. If the user does not have
middle name then the username for the user would be first two letters
of first name and lastname and if that's already taken then first
three letters of first name and last name and so on.

Any help or pointer is greatly appriciated.
