Hi Robert,
Yes, I found a solution. In case more people are interested, I'm CC'ing this
reply to MapInfo-L as a sum on the subject.
The Novell Netware user name is stored in an environment variable named
NWUSERNAME, which can be fetched by utilizing a WinAPI call.
' The WinAPI call declaration
Declare Function GetEnvironmentVariable Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetEnvironmentVariableA"
(ByVal lpName As String,
lpBuffer As String, nSize As Integer
) As Integer
' A small routine to encapsulate the messy call
Function NovellUserName() As String
DIM x AS INTEGER
DIM UserStr AS STRING
DIM lpBuffer AS STRING
DIM BuffSize AS INTEGER
BuffSize=1024
lpBuffer=string$(1024,chr$(32))
x = GetEnvironmentVariable("NWUSERNAME", lpBuffer, BuffSize)
NovellUserName = RTrim$(lpBuffer)
End Function
Thanks to Peter M�ller for supplying me with the API declaration so I
needn't go look for it :-)
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Lars V. Nielsen
