Hi Vini,
I used this in a recent app:


Char* GS_GetUsername()
{
  Char G_Username[40];
  Char* G_UsernamePtr;
  Err err;

        DlkGetSyncInfo(NULL,NULL,NULL,(Char *)&G_Username,NULL,NULL);
        if(StrLen(G_Username)  <= 1) {
           StrCopy(G_Username,"None");
           FrmCustomAlert(AlrtNoUsername,"","","");
        }
        G_UsernamePtr = G_Username;
        return G_UsernamePtr;
}

Hope it helps...
