The old getenv("user_name") is what I used to always use

We always had to initially create a "user_name" setup in the autoexec, but
there ought to be a way to get the machine name or something from windows
these days

Subject: Best Practices Question

Our SYS(2023) is awesome for storing temporary files such as report outputs.
I have created user "profiles" on terminal services so that there were no
collisions of report outputs.  I inherited a Web Connection application
where the developers created a sub folder for each user and left the html
report in that folder after they viewed it.  
The problem is obvious.  Invoices in folders on the web which can be indexed
by a search engine.

The question is, what is the best way to create a SYS(2023) type temporary
folder on a web site?  The problem is that all of my programs create a
temporary dbf which holds the report data and in the web environment they
will collide.  On a computer they each have their own profile.

TIA
