Is there a "Get" calculation or other way to set up a field that will return the current user name logged into a database over IWP? Not the user name of the individual logged in on the server side.

Thanks

Get(AccountName), I use it all the time...

Cheers,

Sean.

I've done that, but I get the account name of the administrator's login on the server computer, not the IWP login of the user on the remote computer. The opposite of what I would like.

That's not the result I've observed either with plain FMP or with server advanced. Are you sure you're not thinking of Get(UserName), which is stored in the prefs of the FMP application.

To Clarify:

I have a database running on FMP on a host computer. The Database on the host is logged in with account "A". Remotely via IWP someone logs in to the database using account "B". On the remote computer, the field set to "get(AccountName)" returns account "A". I would like it to show account "B".

I am not using "get(UserName)"

Thanks

Are you sure you have the most recent version of FMP? I've just tested this again using IWP in both FMSA 7v3 and FMP 7v3 (with the most recent web update 7v5) and it works as I expected.

Also, make sure that if you are using Get(AccountName) in a calculation field, make it an unstored calculation field. If it's stored, it won't refresh properly.

Thank you so much. It was the storage issue, which I have now disabled for that field. It works fine now. Great!

Much Appreciated,
