Ditching Status(CurrentUser)

[mrpez1]

I'm looking to switch over my "Modified by _______" and "Created by _________" Calcs to use my global gateway user names instead of Status(CurrentUser). I've set up a method that seems to work but I wanted to run it by you guys. I really don't want the calc to change with different users (i.e Jeff makes a record and it says Created by Jeff. John logs in and all of the sudden it says Created by John. I'm using an auto-enter calc into a text field right now to insert the Global name field. Do I have to worry about it recalculating? Is there a better way to do it?

If it is a text field and an auto enetr (not a lookup) it will only perform the calc on the creation of a new record. any changes to the global user after will not alter the text field.

So the created by: part works great using the auto-enter calc. I'm having some problems making the modified by part work. I've tried lookups and calcs but I keep running into the problem of how to force the relookups... Does anyone know of a way to enter a global field as the modified by name without using a script?
