[mpiyesizwe]

Please may someone let me know how I can get the computer's name in VB code.

Thanks

In a module

option Explicit

Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetComputerNameA" (byval lpBuffer as string, nSize as Long) as Long




In a form

option Explicit

private Sub Form_Load()

Dim sComputer as string
Dim lpBuff as string * 1024

'get the Computer Name
GetComputerName lpBuff, len(lpBuff)
sComputer = Left$(lpBuff, (InStr(1, lpBuff, vbNullChar)) - 1)
lpBuff = ""

MsgBox "Computer Name: " & sComputer

End
End Sub

Great. If the one who asked do not rate, I do.

Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler. Come back soon, you Guru.
