Need to extract full user name from advapi32.dll or netapi32.dll
I am developing an Access form that will display the current user Log-in ID and want to add the Full Name of that user. Is this possible?
Current code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Database
Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
''''''''''Buffer User Log-In Name'''''''
Public Function txtUserName()
Dim sBuffer As String
Dim lSize As Long
sBuffer = Space$(255)
lSize = Len(sBuffer)
Call GetUserName(sBuffer, lSize)
If lSize > 0 Then
txtUserName = Left$(sBuffer, lSize)
txtUserName = Trim(Left(txtUserName, Len(txtUserName) - 1))
Else
txtUserName = vbNullString
End If
End Function
Current code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Database
Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
''''''''''Buffer User Log-In Name'''''''
Public Function txtUserName()
Dim sBuffer As String
Dim lSize As Long
sBuffer = Space$(255)
lSize = Len(sBuffer)
Call GetUserName(sBuffer, lSize)
If lSize > 0 Then
txtUserName = Left$(sBuffer, lSize)
txtUserName = Trim(Left(txtUserName, Len(txtUserName) - 1))
Else
txtUserName = vbNullString
End If
End Function

I am able to retrieve the user Log In ID name, but not the full name of the user. I know we store that information in Active Directory, so I wasn't sure if any other information may be extracted. Although I have used to JimD's information to create another Module, I am getting debug faults when attempting to enter in a text box =WhoAmI()...not sure what I am doing wrong there.
The links that Sonchoy sent is some of the code I am already using to display the Users Log In name. When attempt to replicate the "long" code from the http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0066.htm link, these lines are not recognized by Access 2003.
So I still attempting to figure out how to get the fullname from the users log in...

Although the solution given has the coding I could use I didn't get any response to my last question. So at this time I am closing the question as I have decided to add a user table and include boolean fieldnames, account name and log-in name. An sql string was written to check the log in name to the database and list the user information stored in the table.
Thanks for your assistance anyway.
