Seamus,

As thanks for thanking me, here is something you should be aware of.

The PC user name can contain characters that the HP will not except. Used to
work at a place where the user name was in the format <forename>_<surname>,
i.e. your network name would have been seamus_browne. As you see, this is
longer than the eight character max that the HP will accept, and it also has
an HP invalid character in position 7. If your site allows this then you
will have to modify your code to take this into consideration.

regards,

Thanks to Robert, I did this to grab the significant chunk of MyUserName by
checking for the position of the first chr$(0).


 GetUserName myUserName, numCharsInUserName
    'MsgBox len(Mid$(myUserName,1,Instr(myUserName,chr$(0))-1) )

    ShortUserName = Mid$(myUserName,1,Instr(myUserName,chr$(0))-1)
    'MsgBox ShortUserName


and


 .Transmit "hello " & ShortUserName & ",MGR.XXX,YYY" & cr

Works fine.
Seamus
