retrieving your microsoft access user name in vba

I am looking to use the username from access for a login page but all I can seem to find out there is a way to get your username from windows but this doesn't seem to work. Please help or guide me in the right direction. Thanks

If you are logging in to the Access program in a way that is not using the Windows login then who knows where that login ID/Password come from. It is up to the imagination of the folks who wrote your database program.

Maybe the DB uses the workgroup security managed by Access. A lot depends on your version of Access. How much do you know about the way security has been implemented?
