The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARY You can make a Windows API (application programming interface) call to a Microsoft Windows DLL (dynamic-link library) to get the current user name. The current user name can be obtained by using the GetUserNameA function in ADVAPI32.DLL.
MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft Excel does not have the built-in functionality to access the computer's current user name. However, you can use the Declare statement in a Visual Basic for Applications macro to call a Microsoft Windows function that will return the current user name. Microsoft provides examples of Visual Basic for Applications procedures for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. The Visual Basic procedures in this article are provided 'as is' and Microsoft does not guarantee that they can be used in all situations. While Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular macro, they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality, nor will they help you construct macros to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to consult one of the Microsoft Solution Providers. Solution Providers offer a wide range of fee-based services, including creating custom macros.
