Hi! On Windows I can use the following to return the username of whoever is logged into the computer:
Code:
Environ("username")

But this does not work on a Mac. How can I replicate this?

P.S. I found something that returns the machine unique identifier but that is not what I'm looking for.

Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Yeah, that isn't what I'm looking for. I want the username used to log into the computer. The application username is set independently in Office.
