User2.UserName Property

Gets the user's username. Read-only

Version Information
 Version Added:  InfoPath 2007

Syntax

expression.UserName

expression   An expression that returns a User2 object.

Return Value
String

Remarks

Calling the UserName property is equivalent to calling System.Environment.UserName in .NET code. A new function in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 allows the username to be inserted declaratively using the Insert Function dialog box. Select All from the categories list, then select userName.

Note
The Local Intranet zone permissions allow reading the username from the environment, so this method can be called by domain-based form templates.

Security Level 2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

Example

In the following example, a variable stores the UserName.

  varUserName = Application.User.UserName;
