I am working on a multiuser application in paradox 7 on a novell network. In
Paradox for dos, there is a funtion called username() which gives you their
paradox name in their .cfg file. What is the paradox 7 equivalent?!

someone kept changing a vaule needed for a report to print so I wrote this to
trap the user name, works great, no more problems. Of course it did make one
user (the one changing the field) think somehow I was tapping into her computer.
