    How to get system login name

    Windows XP Pro
    Excel 2002 SP3

    Is it possible to get the system login name (if it exists)? I want to do a
    user check in the workbook open event so I can restrict some sheets from
    certain edits, based on the user of course.

    Any help appreciated.

    there is a possibility ...

    Application.UserName

    Test it first with something like

    MsgBox "Current user is " & Application.UserName

    That is the name define within Tools>Options, user amendable, not the login
    name.
