It doesn't work. Both GetUserName and SYS(0) return the Windows User Name which by coincidence can be the same as the login name but, as I've found the hard way, doesn't have to be. The way I handle this is to have the NetWare login script create an environment variable called USER containing the login name. I then use that variable with the GETENV() funtion in VFP.
