[AccessD] Default table value

I have two fields in several tables which use ENVIRON("USERNAME")  or
ENVIRON("COMPUTERNAME")

I tried saving the table after adding two more fields and it will not
allow me to because of the ENVIRON

I know about M$ stupid blocking of ENVIRON and CURDIR per 
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA011225981033.aspx#050

I added the two functions to the backend MDB hoping it would allow me to
save it -- NOPE.  Why wouldn't that look at the function while a query
would? Is there some other way to have the DEFAULT value for a table
field be  ENVIRON("USERNAME")  or equal to it?

I went in and updated my registry to have the value for Sandbox be a 2
instead of 3 which didn't work.  I haven't changed the registry to stop
it all together yet. I probably will just so I can add fields. 

Is there some other way without having to mess with the registry? 
  Other people might not have permission to change their registry. 

Thank you have a great weekend
Patti
