How to Set the name of the Systems User in the Layout

Featured Replies

I have a runtime file of FileMaker which I hand it out to many guys of the Sales team.They have a Pwd which I preset for them when I send the runtime file to them .They want a user name which is there sytem user name or windows user name to be displayed when they click on the runtime file to open it.They have now a pwd,they want a user name along with it to be displayed which is there Windows User name.Please help me on this.Thanks in advance.

You can apply the Status(CurrentUserName) function to a calculated field each time a user try to log in.

Also define this field as unstored so it recalculates the right name for each user.

Regards.

Unfortunately, with the Runtime version, using Status(CurrentUserName) results in a blank. Status(CurrentUserName) derives that from what is entered in the Application Preferences under User Name. That is not accessible with the Runtime, so the result is nothing. You could run a BAT ch or COM mand file to extract that information from Windows and put it in a global field.
