Insert Username Using VBA
Jan 17, 2007
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]

I'm keen to add a field to a spreadsheet that populates a cell with the username of the last person who edited the file, as in the system or logon name, e.g. first.lastname syntax.
I would however like to keep this sheet as an .xlsx and not have it as an .xlsm. I have the code to use VBA, but is there way to grab the username without VBA to keep the .xlsx format?
I'm using Excel 2010.

I have a thousand names on a column, and I have a several worksheet tabs as locations, such as CA, AZ, TX, and NY.
All names goes to main worksheet, show like this
apitchford 10 100 123
bkishpaugh 9 211 123
blee 14 234 111
cbonny 21 125 412
I need to pull a specific name, example, name = blee, move that name with all data on that row into TX.
I will need to set as automatically, becuase the names add and delete on the main worksheet, and will auto update those tab worksheets. (make sense?)
I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but they keep putting one data in, not all data.

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 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 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 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 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"

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 list of tweets, and I would like to extract just the username found within the tweet. I'm not sure if a formula is the best way to do this, or possibly a macro.
The example I've attached is only of 18 tweets, but the spreadsheet I'm looking to use this on is 100,000+ tweets, so I need something easily scalable. One thing to note is that a tweet can have more than oneuser mentioned in it, such as the first tweet in the example.

Excel can automatically recognise individuals by their windows login name so you can fully automate the protect/unprotect of the correct sheets without even individuals having to use passwords.
The first step though would be to gather the id's of all users.
1. Create an additional sheet and call it UserLog
2. Put the following code into all the worksheet code modules
[Code] ......
Once you know the windows login names and which sheet they are responsible for you can add the following code to each worksheet.
[Code] .....
I have tried as per below and it is not working.
I have about 50 user that uses one document and will record their comments to instructions, but only 20 users will be able to add the instructions. The document needs to autolock when it is saved and can only be unlock with the username of the 20 users.

i have a spreadsheet with the following worksheets:
"Data Entry" (sheet 1)
"Menu" (sheet 2)
"Username" (sheet 3)
In username the range a2:b5 contains the following:
a2= John b2=Write
a3=Scott b3=Readonly
where John or Scott are usernames in Environ("Username")
Is it possible to write a macro that does the following:
1. When the file is opened it looks at the network username and checks again the Username range in sheet3, if it is Write then the user can change cells in Data Entry and save the workbook, if Readonly then they can only view and not save, and if not there at all, then the worksheet closes.
2. When the file is opened write a log in a hidden sheet callled "Log" of the time opened and the username
3. Is it possible to do the same but making a copy of all cells changed ??

I have searched the forum several way to resolve my issue and the only solutions were as follows:
PHP
Public Function UserName()UserName = Environ("username")UserName = Computer("UserName")End FunctionOption ExplicitFunction NetworkUserName() As StringDim responseNetworkUserName = Environ("Username")End Function
Problem is that I get a #REF! and #NAME? instead of the user names

I have a button that saves my excel workbook to a network drive, but what I'd like to do is have it save the file to a directory named after the user, instead of all the users in the department saving to one folder. For instance, R:customerserviceweight reconstructionusername, where username a directory named after the user.
Code:
Private Sub Save_Click()Dim Path As String
Dim FileName1 As String
Dim FileName2 As String
FileName1 = Range("A2")
FileName2 = Range("A3")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="R:CustomerServiceWeight Reconstruction" & FileName1 & " - " & FileName2 & " - " & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52

All of the information is in once cell, but each has a common prefix (ie. URL = or Username), etc. After each prefix is the information I'd like to sort under the category (each category is the prefix).

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.
