>>Here I go again. In gool old DOS on Novell I could get the P_STATION number, the ethernet card address, using any number of different librarys. We use this to track errors and all kinds of things. How can I get this number in VFP? Is it also possible to get the name the user used to log into the network? Again this was easy in the old days.

Ed,
The NIC address is also in the GUID if I recall. Not quite sure what part (yet *g*) though.
