IS IT POSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE THE CURRENT USER FROM A TABLE TO BE USED FOR MY AUDIT TRAIL.
__1. Declare a Public Variable to represent the Current User in a Standard Code Module as in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Public strCurrentUser As String
__2. Capture the User's Name from the LOGON Form and assign it to the Puiblic Variable as in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. strCurrentUser = "<name extracted from logon form>"
__3. Now you can refer to the Current User anywhere in your application by referencing the Public Variable assigned to him/her, namely, strCurrentUser.

how will the function determine the active current user?
__1. The Current Active User of the Database will always be returned by the CurrentUser() Function, the Current User as defined by the Operating System will be returned by Environ("UserNa me").

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
