Tom,
The following code returns the user id from my novell 4.1 network.... Got it off the newsgroups a while back:

* Program : GetNetId
* Author : Public Domain from MS Newsgroups
* Purpose : Returns user ID from Novell Network (3/4)
* Known Limitations : Works only in VFP 5
* Return Value : Char, Id # or Spaces

LOCAL ;
lcNull, ;
lcUserId, ;
lnLen

lcNull=""
lcUserId=SPACE(255)
lnLen=255

IF _WINDOWS AND ( "NT" $ OS() OR "WINDOWS 4." $ UPPER(OS()) )

* Use the WNetGetUser function in the Win32API to get the user id
DECLARE INTEGER WNetGetUser IN WIN32API String @, String @, Integer @

IF WNetGetUser(@lcNull,@lcUserId,@lnLen)=0

lcUserId=UPPER(LEFT(lcUserId,AT(CHR(0),lcUserId)-1))

ELSE

lcUserId = ""

ENDIF

ENDIF

RETURN ALLTRIM(lcUserId)

Enjoy!!
