Issue the command "set" at a dos prompt. You probably have
"username" on NT. The reason I have userid is that I set it
in everyones login script. That way win9x machines have
one too.

Hello Group,

Can anyone tell me how to get the user name of the person printing a
Pick List. We're using Vantage 3/Crystal 6. If the information can
not come from Vantage, is it possible to derive it from the local
system or NT username?

Thanks,

Erik Smalley

I uploaded a cyrstal dll to the yahoo file area that you can use to
read the nt username. It will read any environment variable.

I downloaded the file and copied it to both the System32 and Crystal
directories in the Winnt folder (I wasn't sure which it should be in). Now
what? I opened Crystal and didn't see how to insert the field.

It should be in...

x:\vantage\dll
and (c:\windows\crystal or c:\winnt\crystal)

Then it will be available in "additional functions" when you
make a new formula field.

OK, I have it available in the Additional Functions, but now what? I
can not seem to do anything that won't error out. How should this be
set up as a function?

Thanks!

If you have an environment variable called userid...

getdosenv('userid')

Joe,

Apparently, I don't have that environment variable. I have successfully
created the formula field, but it's blank. Do you know how I might add the
variable?
