As alluded to by Eric  you can use environ with ComputerName argument like so   MsgBox Environ  USERNAME     Some additional information that might be helpful for you to know    The arguments are not case sensitive  There is a slightly faster performing string version of the Environ function  To invoke it  use a dollar sign   Ex  Environ   username    This will net you a small performance gain  You can retrieve all System Environment Variables using this function   Not just username   A common use is to get the  ComputerName  value to see which computer the user is logging onto from  I don t recommend it for most situations  but it can be occasionally useful to know that you can also access the variables with an index  If you use this syntax the the name of argument and the value are returned  In this way you can enumerate all available variables  Valid values are 1 - 255        Sub EnumSEVars           Dim strVar As String         Dim i As Long         For i   1 To 255             strVar   Environ  i              If LenB strVar    0  Then Exit For             Debug Print strVar         Next     End Sub
