Is it possible to add the User Name to each record that's being added to a table? I am using an Append Query to add the new record(s). I thought I could create a field in my query to do that, by what I am trying doesn't work

CreatedBy: Environ("Username")

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off

Just wrap the vba function in a public function in a module:
Code:
Public Function CurrentUser() As String
    CurrentUser = Environ("UserName")
End Function

Then use it in your query:
CreatedBy: CurrentUser()
