Public Function GetWindowsLoginUserID() As String
Dim rtn As Long
Dim sBuffer As String
Dim lSize As Long

sBuffer = String$(260, Chr$(0))
lSize = Len(sBuffer)
rtn = GetUserName(sBuffer, lSize)
If rtn Then
  sBuffer = left$(sBuffer, lSize)

  'Reformat string
  If InStr(sBuffer, Chr$(0)) Then
    sBuffer = left$(sBuffer, InStr(sBuffer, Chr$(0)) - 1)
  End If

  GetWindowsLoginUserID = sBuffer
Else
  'Error!
  GetWindowsLoginUserID = ""
