Is there a way to capture a userid in Access? I have an Access program that is on a network and use so sort of Windows authentication to sign on. I want to capture the person's userid in order to grant certain Access tables in my application.

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Most people user the ENVIRON function. Though that can be spoofed quite easily.?
