Unreliable due to local admin decisions - that's what I was searching for - thanks! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Heenan, Lambert Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:16 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Track PC Number It's unreliable because the setting of the environment variables is dependant of the local computer administrators' decision. In some shops they set the variables in login scripts, in others they don't. So you can never be certain that Environ is going to return a value. The API calls should always work.
