"The Microsoft Client for Netware (Win95 AND NT) does not fully support the Novell API." I say this so much I'm gonna have to get a T-shirt... If you want to use Novell's 32-bit APIs, you'll have to use Novell's 32-bit clients, period. MS has no intention of addressing this problem. -- Associate Director, Vestibular Testing Center Department of Otorhinolaryngology University of Michigan Hospitals [Remove "nospam." from the above address to email me]

Actually, most Netware logins I've been a part of SET an environmental variable. It Netware 3.xx it is USER and in Netware 4.11 (context type login) it is the environmental variable NAME. In any case and depending on the configuration of Netware, a variable is set. To see the variable, go to a DOS window and type SET at the DOS prompt. Isaias

Mark Shawke #6 / 6	API call to get Netware user name from 32-bit client using MSFT Client for Netware You can try this old code I had - I think it worked, I had it commented out. Declare Function WNetGetUser Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetGetUserA" (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpUserName As String, lpnLength As Long) As Long Function GetNetUserName() As String Dim sName As String Dim sUserName As String Dim lLen As Long Dim iRet As Long GetNetUserName = "" sName = "M:" sUserName = Space(256) lLen = 256 iRet = WNetGetUser(sName, sUserName, lLen) ' For netware 4.x, this returns a string like "CN=ShawkeyM" lLen = InStr(1, sUserName, "CN=") If lLen > 0 Then sUserName = UCase$(Trim$(Mid$(sUserName, lLen + 3))) lLen = Len(sUserName) sUserName = Left$(sUserName, lLen - 1) Else sUserName = "" End If GetNetUserName = sUserName 'GetNetUserName = UCase$(Environ("NAME")) End Function Stephen Hudnall wrote in article Quote: >I am not having much luck locating a API call to get the Netware user name >from a 32-bit client using the Microsoft Client for Netware.
