>>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.

Ashley-
I have been able to use sys(0) on both Novell and NT networks. Have heard others here say that it can't be used dependably, but I have yet to have a problem.
