Hi Guys

I am looking to create a file, and each employee will use it (Timesheet)

In the footer, I would like to put in the log on to their individual machine?

I know you can put in [Date] [Time] etc etc

But would like their user name (Eg Joe, Bill, Fred) etc etc

Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Right click the Excel logo just to the left of File on the menu bar, select View Code and paste in

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.LeftFooter = Environ("username")
End Sub

Change Sheet1 to suit. Save, close and reopen the file.

(04.07.08 .... 11.07.08 ....18.07.08 .......25.07.08)

Thanks :)

also... it doesn't seem to be working for other people's machines! ?:(

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

This isn't clear to me. Do they all have individual copies of the workbook or is it a shared file on a server or similar?

Sorry.

I have made a template of a timesheet.

I then copy&paste this into 30 different files. So everybody has their own copy.

So Mr a has a file for timesheets, and the individual file will be July2008 Mr a

HTH

If they each have a copy of the file (including the code) then I can't understand why it isn't working, and certainly not why it would insert your username when run from another machine.

Try manually removing the footers from the workbook on another machine then saving, closing and reopening the file.
