Answer 1

Hi P43R0,

you can use Application.UserName to get currently logged in user in any MS Office Application.

Example to get the user:

Sub demo()
MsgBox "Current user is " & Application.UserName
End Sub

Example to set the user:

Application.UserName = "Demo User"

Reference:

Application.UserName Property (Word)
