I'm trying to set up a field in the header of a layout that displays the current account name. I've tried it by creating a field in the table that the layout is for and setting it to calculate 'Get (AccountName)' and I've also tried just setting it to Auto-enter and checked 'modification' then selected account name from the dropdown.

Either way, the value displayed in the browse mode doesn't get updated until the current user has modified a field or changed views. Is there a way to make the displayed name refresh the instant a new user logs in? Right now, I can switch users but the value shown in the field makes it seem like I'm still logged in as the last user, until I modify a field or change views/modes.

Is the field that you have created for the username a global field?

Add a step in your relogin script to set the account name into the global field.

Or you could use a global merge variable on the layout.

thanks efen. I was able to get it working with a button/script that prompted the login then inserted the Account name into the field. I was using the button action "re-login" but that didn't modify the record. The script with the extra step to write the value "Get (AccountName)" into the field did the trick though.
