>>>Hi All
>>>
>>>Running an app under terminal services / remote desktop and if I use the Windows Remote desktop Services Manager and look at a logged in user I can see various info about the user such as their log in name but also the "client name" which appears to be the name of the computer that the user is using. For an example see the screenshot attached. Does anyone know an API routine to get that info from within a VFP program?

>>Just as an FYI for anyone interested The solution is incredibly simply and does not require accessing any API. You can retrieve the users computer name under a terminal services session simply using Windows Scripting Host in 2 lines ("doh!"):

>>objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
>>strClient = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%clientname%")

OK, thanks. We are using this on our own terminal services servers
