[AccessD] Track PC Number

I'm pretty sure that there's not a Mac version of Access. I'm assuming the
help reference was for Word, Excel or PowerPoint.

This is the first I've noticed the Environ() function. Seems like it would
save a lot of coding in lieu of the half a dozen Windows API calls I use to
do what it can do. I was just wondering if it was unreliable that there are
so many people using and posting API calls to do the same thing. (I
certainly didn't write the API calls I'm using!)

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.
