>>Good point, Mike, that is the reason why I hoped to understand this issue, so I could branch according to access level.
>>So, if sys(0) could be different than the Novell login ID, then how do I get the Novell login ID with VFP 5.0 ?

>I have used both GPLIB and NETLIB with VFP and Novell. These are 3'rd party products. You should be able to retrieve the login ID via the API call as mentioned, but I have never used that approach. I need full access to the Novell bindery which these products provide. Drawbacks are Netlib is available for Win 3.x/95 but the NT version has yet to be released. GPLIB supports Win 3.x/95 and NT but requires the Novell Client 32 be loaded. Both support Foxpro 2.x, VFP 3.0 and 5.0. You may also download a free evaluation copy of GPLIB to check out.

>As George mentioned, the machine information must first be assigned by the network software and the network shell must be loaded. The problem is that I cannot rely on the network making these assignments. If you are the Novell administrator and have complete control over the login scripts then you may be able to.
