get the USERNAME in the MACRO module

[ivan_will]

Hi,

Using section access and want to take the username from the table created by the section access. Want to do that in the macro module and using if statement

example if vUsername='David' .... bla bla ...

Thanks in advance!

Use this:

If you want the authenticated user (NTNAME on section access you use the first line

Use the second if you want to get the user name (when you use user name and password)

sub setUser

set v = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vUser") v.SetContent ActiveDocument.GetLayout.AuthenticatedUser,true

' v.SetContent ActiveDocument.GetLayout.QvUser,true

end sub

I'm still having problems!

sub setUser

set vMacroUser = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vUser")

vMacroUser .SetContent ActiveDocument.GetLayout.AuthenticatedUser,true

end sub

sub PlaySound

If vMacroUser = "????" Then

ActiveDocument.PlaySound "C:\WINDOWS\Media\tada.wav"

End If

it dont play the sound ! Don't know why ?! and could you please tell how to check what value has the variables in the macros

Thanks

That`s how you can get the content.

set v = ActiveDocument.Variables("Variable1")
msgbox(v.GetContent.String)

If you use authenticated user that will probably be DOMAIN\USER (you can check that with the new macro).

After you set the value you can check it on the variable overview (settings menu)
