[AccessD] Populate field with userid Environ A97 vs A2k+

I am upgrading an Access97 to Access2k to Access2k3.  I know about
having to create a function to use it in A2k and A2k3 (GRRR)  

I have been using =Environ("UserName") to populate a field (LastUpdtBy)
in a new record in my A97-tables for years.  

I created the function that was recommended and it works in my vb/vba
code portions. It is not working in the table field default.  Gives me
the runtime error # 3388 "unknown function 'Environ'.

Is there a workaround?  If there is one in the archives, please send a
complete link. I have tried finding something suggested in mails but
can't find them easily.

I still think this ban was ridiculous or at least they should have
created a valid totally useable workaround

Thanks -  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving ALL
