In addition to what Daryl told you, hopefully you know that CurrentUser only
works if you're using a file format from Access 2003 or earlier and you've
applied Access User Level Security. Otherwise, it'll return Admin for all
users.

I have the following event procedure on a text box:

Private Sub txtNotesOnTransaction_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Debug.Print "User: " & CurrentUser() & " " & Me!txtNotesOnTransaction
End Sub


It is suppose to stamp the user name in the text box but it does not work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
