why the Function & Property Get below is used to return the username and computer name when the Environ method does exactly the same in only two lines of code.
I would sooner use the Environ method but not if there is a valid reason why the function is used.
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _
Alias "GetUserNameA" ( _
ByVal lpBuffer As String, _
ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32.dll" _
Alias "GetComputerNameA" ( _
ByVal lbbuffer As String, _
nSize As Long) As Long
Public Property Get UserName() As String
Dim stBuff As String * 255, lAPIResult As Long
Dim lBuffLen As Long
I have made a program using excel vba with userforms, however upon using it on another or any computer with the same version of Office(2007) i am getting a debugging error and highlighting any lines with the words "format" & "date" in the vba code.
I have copied a macro off another board that get the username of the computer where the excel file is opened. It works fine on my pc but when I have sent the workbook to a colleague my username came up when he opened it. Also what I am trying to do is to modify the macro that does a vlookup on a range in worksheet 1 from where it picks name and surname (and transpose it onto worksheet 2 on cell A2), email (on B2), tel number (on C2) etc etc.
I wrote a macro that runs perfect when started from my pc, but if started from a different ps which is logged into the same network it doesn't run, also the macro is stored on the server. I have a code in the private section of the workbook:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call FINAL End Sub
then the macro 'FINAL' is stored in the 'Modules' section and starts with:
Sub FINAL() 'this part opens the Edit/Links dialog from which the user has to choose the relevant model Dim Which_financial_model_contains_the_data As String ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink Name:= _ "T:DEALSSSalsa (Project)Financial modelsProject Salsa Model - BASED ON SPONSOR CASE - b - 20061214.xls" _ , NewName:= _ "Which_financial_model_contains_the_data" _ , Type:=xlExcelLinks
Can a macro create a folder in my computer and use the value in cell A1 as the folder name? This is where I want the folder to be created C:UsersUserDesktop.
I need a macro ie when a user opens a macro enabled workbook,he should be asked for a username and password to access workbook. Administrator should have right to create users with reset password rights
I have Timesheet workbooks with 3 levels of access (user, viewer & me as developer).
I want use the GetuserName API function (with If/Then) to auto open the wkbk if I am loged in under my network login so psuecode looks bit like this
If network user is me then open wkbk else ask for username & password
I have googled & searched the forum & the closest I have is this
Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function ReturnUserName() As String ' returns the NT Domain User Name Dim rString As String * 255, sLen As Long, tString As String tString = "" On Error Resume Next...............
I've got a sheet with a "Last Edited By:" field and I want this to be populated with the current users name i.e. I suppose I mean the user name that is assigned to Excel, as opposed to the XP log in... although I guess either would do. I'm OK on the change event thing, but just dont know the function to find the the current users name.
I'm trying to use the code listed below on the works shared drive. When I open up the worksheet and save it, my log on identity is left as required in Cell B2 etc.. When someone else uses the sheet it just leaves the company name in this cell and not their log on identity? The date & time function always works ok. Can anyone advise me if what I'm after is achievable.
The code I've used below was used from a previous string on a similar question.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Now() Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1).Value = Application.UserName End Sub[/b]
Is there a code available that can be used to get the user's computer ID number (Not Computer Name)? I'm using a password generator to randomly generate a password and I would like to use this unique password with the user's Computer ID.
I have below piece of code which I'm not sure how to finish up. What I'm trying to do is have 'Username' and 'password' entered before logging into the workbook. It does not have to be 'UserForm" if it is possible, but it would be useful if we use Ucase...
I'm just not sure how this code works with
"Sub sUserLogon(strStandardID As String, strPassword As String)"
stated in this way..
VB: Sub sUserLogon(strStandardID As String, strPassword As String) Dim strUserName As String Dim StrMessage As String Application.DisplayAlertsAlerts = False StrMessage = "User Logged In"
I would like to unlock the work sheet based on the username. However this code does not seems to be working.
The object is that only these users have access to the locked cells on a sheet and those users not on the list would only have access to the unlocked cells.
This time stamp macro is great but I would also like to record the person who said 'Y' in the same cell as the date stamp '12:00p.m. MWatson'. The persons name should come from the Username.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Not Intersect(Target, Range([P13], Cells(Rows.Count, "p"))) Is Nothing Then 'change your range on this line" With ActiveSheet If Target.Value = "Y" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
I am using the below code to access a website with IE.
My next step (of many) is to Login to this website.
The login screen requires that I enter: User Name: Password:
How can I tell IE to enter my user name and Password?

I am trying to get the username from the system to display in A1 in a file in Excel. I got this code form internet and put it in the sheet by clicking right mouse on the sheet1 tab and view code and then pasted it there.
Function UserNameWindows() As String UserNameWindows = Environ("USRNAME") End Function
And then as per the instructions on the same page I inserted this formula in A1 : =UserNameWindows()
The person stated that by doing this, I should be able to get user name displayed in A1. BUt all it gives me is #NAME?.
i need a macro that will only open a file to certain users using the "get username" environ thing,
and only allow a list of users to access this file,
this will be a log of things that only managers whouls have access to, i have all the managers usernames (windows log ons) and what i need is that if the log on on the current machine, (the one currently opening the file) does not match one on th elist then the file should not open.
i could pasword protect the file but since my managers are kinda lazy and i wnat to show off a little (maybe hopefully that will push my promotion forward a couple of days at least)
I'm trying to create a program that will automatically log in to a website that requires a username & password. I am able to enter the username and password in the correct text boxes, but I can not get the form to submit to approve the login. It refreshes and removes the password.

I have a problem with the Excel UserName & opening of a second xls File. Info: The first file macro, looks as to the Excel UserName, and sets which worksheets from a second file in the network the person can see. then changes the Excel UserName to "helpdl", this is done because only 4 people have access to the Workbook on a network drive, see Code below (only the interesting part of the macro)
'Set the Excel UserName to "helpdl" '(from Sub Change_UserName) MyName = Application.UserName OName = MyName NewName = "HelpDL" UserName = NewName 'Set the name of the Active File To "Slave" Set wbSlave = ActiveWorkbook 'Open the Master from the Network (Wiesbaden server sv030100) Workbooks.Open "\sv030100GruppenDL60116_MEWA Car Policy_Neukonzeption.xls" 'Set the name of the Active File to "Master" Set wbMaster = ActiveWorkbook...........................

I have an Excel macro that pulls an external .txt file from a particular directory on a users computer. The directory is different for each user because of the way the computers are configured, see example below.
Bob's computer: c:obwork
Jill's computer: c:jillwork
There is a system variable called %username% on each computer that can be used for navigation in an OS enviroment. So if you were at the command prompt on user's computer and typed cd\%username%work you would be put in the desired directory. Is there a way to leverage this system level variable, %username%, in an Excel macro?
Usually when you try to open a file that someone else is using, it lets you know the file is in use, and lets you know who is using it. However, the situation I have is that when a user tries to open the file that is in use, it tells them that the file is in use, but gives them the wrong user who is using it!
For example, User1 opens the file and closes it again. User2 comes along and opens the file and stays in the file. User3 comes along and tries to open the file, but instead of saying User2 is using the file. It says User1 is using!
The file we have was originally built in Excel 97, but we using it through compatibility mode in Office 2007. The file is needed by various users, but putting it on shared access is not an option.
I have a problem running an excel macro on different laptops because the IP needs to be known (my program links to databases that are installed on a "server" laptop). The IP can be sourced by using the "Start, Run, cmd, ipconfig" but my users can have problems with process.
Does anyone know of a vb function that will display the ip of the computer that the code is run on?
i am experiencing runtime error '6': overflow on one computer but not on another computer when it is the exact same file running on two different computers.
