Thanks, will try it out.

>>Hi,
>>
>>I'm looking for suggestions to get the logged-on user I.D. in a Win 95 environment/Novell client 32.
>>
>>I've used GPLIB for years in DOS, and am finding the VFP5 version too finicky (it works on some workstations and not others though all the required files/dates are present).
>>
>>I currently am echoing the DOS SET environment to a file and reading/extracting the info from there, which I find tacky, and is not very secure.
>>
>>TIA
>>
>>Also... just a footnote...
>>For those of you that remember or responded to one of my previous cries for help re the error 'Too many files open'...
>>Turned out it was due to my original non standard installation of Win 95/ Novell, where I loaded Novell VLMs in DOS and logged in before starting Win 95. The problem disappeared when I broke down and installed Client 32.

>NetLib? This uses the NW bindery (or NW 4.x equilavent) to get the ID of the user logged in. Also provides utilities to authenticate user-id/password without logging the user off the network. It's a nice library for VFP5.
