Windows User Name

Hello,

Is there a way to get the Windows user name for a particular windows login ID in Navision?

Of course yes, but only if the client is running on PC within domain...

Function UserName(UserIDVal : Code[20]) : Text[50]
Var
  WinUser	Record	Windows Object	
  DBUser	Record	User	

BEGIN
  IF DBUser.GET(UserIDVal) THEN  //try DB logins first
    EXIT(DBUser.Name);

  IF WinUser.FIND('-') THEN  //no DB login, find windows user
  REPEAT
    IF UPPERCASE(WinUser.ID)=UserIDVal THEN
      EXIT(WinUser.Name);
  UNTIL WinUser.NEXT=0;
  EXIT('');
END;

Warning! This can take some time to read the table Windows Objects. But I was not able to filter directly to the ID (but I do not know why yet) - may be that you can modify this code to directly filter WinUser for the ID and get the record without loop...
