Hi,
I'm currently working on a VB application This application will be Shared on a network .Each user on a client once he clicks on the shared application , i want the application to be able to retrieve the current user's id,meaning on every client machine this function will get a differnt user ID since it has a different user logged on the domain
My question is : using API functions can i get the id of the current user on a domain
I'm new to API functions and I want to Know if it will be useful to me.
If any one can recommend a Book on a API it would be kind of you

There is a API book by Dan Appleman, I cant remeber of any other...

u ca use getcomputername api function
or
shell "net user"

Would this code helps?

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _ "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) _ As Long Private Sub Form_Load() Dim s As String Dim cnt As Long Dim dl As Long Dim CurUser As String cnt = 199 s = String$(200, 0) dl = GetUserName(s, cnt) If dl <> 0 Then CurUser = Left$(s, cnt) Else CurUser = "" Label1.Caption = CurUser End Sub

Yeah the book by Dan Appleman is the most ideal one to read for beginners.Its called Visual Basic's Programmers Guide to Win32 API.Another book that I think is the masterpiece on WIN32 GDI API is Windows Graphics Programming by Feng Yuan of Hewlett Packard.These are the must books one should have.
