JT,

You can get the user name with SYS(0), but to the best of my knowledge, even with the API, the best you can do is authenticate a username/password pair.

This seems like a sensible security precaution to me. As anecdotal evidence, I present the NT user manager which allows the administrator to change a user's password, but not to view it.

Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
