Machine Name

Does anyone know a quick way to get the name of the computer that the navision client is currently running on? I could throw together a quick activex dll to do this, but I was hoping to find a solution that relied entirely on Navision.

Hi,

Use "Host Name" field in the Session table where "My Session" = TRUE

Ahh fantastic!
I found the environmental variable %COMPUTERNAME% but I hate relying on environmental variables since they can vary per OS. Thanks a ton, this is a much better solution:)

I see your point, but I think this particular environment variable is available on all Windows versions that recent C/SIDE versions run on.

I was unsure about that:) but it's a good thing to know, for versions 3.6 and prior this would probably be the necessary solution then:)
Again, thanks to both of you for your help:)
