Thanks Vinny, that worked wonderful. One quick question, where can I find what other values are available in with the Environ() function? Microsoft's web site only discusses it in general terms and gives no specifics about it.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

This will loop through the available variables and their values:<br />
<br />
Private Sub Command1_Click()<br />
For x = 1 To 80<br />
MsgBox Environ(x)<br />
Next x<br />
End Sub
</div>

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For x = 1 To 80
MsgBox Environ(x)

The problem is this. I am writing a VB program that needs to know who the user is that is logged into windows. I can get the username just fine using the Windows API GetUserNameA, however I need the domain name of the account also. The GetUserNameA only returns the Username of the account. The domain is necessary part so the program can run properly since it will connect to a SQL database using Windows NT authentication.<br />
<br />
Only requirement, can not use Windows Scripting Host, since the exe will be ran from a network directory I can not take the chance on whether or not the machine has WSH installed (or some other non common DLL).<br />

Thanks.

Retrieving Domain of Logged in user

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
