Add "Who added Record" field to form

[Rude Awakening]

Hey Guys


How can I add an uneditable field on a form to record who added the record?

So user opens form, adds record, there is a hidden field on the form for their name, OnSave their name is populated in the table

If their name was recorded from their windows login or something that would be handy.

I done the same kind of thing with the Created on Date by adding Date() as the default value and Show Date Picker:never.

You can just have a default value in the table for the above. No need to have it on form

There are several ways to get a users identity.

you can use

environ("Computername")
 
environ("username")

if you use a log in procedure you can use that also. There are many more.

Thanks for the response Monk
I have tried both and also with = at the beginning and no joy.
Heres what I have

you can't use a function like environ as a default value

instead assign the value in the before update or before insert event of a form
