[AccessD] Track PC Number

The Environ() function has been available is all versions of Access since
1.0, but that's in a Windows setting. Are you running Access on a Mac in a
Windows emulator? In which case Environ should work, but only if your
virtual windows machine actually sets an environment variable called
UserName and/or another one called ComputerName. Those variables are
typically set by login scripts. If they are not set then you have to use the
API calls to retrieve the information.

If you are running the native Mac version of Access (is there such a beast?)
then I can offer no help, not knowing any Mac APIs.

Anyone know which versions of Access the Environ() function is supported in?
All help says is "Not available on the Macintosh".

I've been using a few hundred lines of Windows API calls and the like to do
what this function can do in one line.
