I think that you can look in the ASP ServerVariables collection, try the
"LOGON_USER" entry...

Subject: [pro_vb] RE: UserID of VB DLL


I have tried that and the site is set to use windows authentication
(challenge/response) and not annonymous access.  If I understand correctly,
that means that the DLL should run under the UserID of the pserson who is
logged on at the client, correct?  The problem that I am running into is
that the code works when I try to open the file manually and it even works
when I am running the program in debug mode (that makes it run under the
userID of the person on the server, right?) both of which are the same
because I am viewing the page from my local web browser running on my local
web server.

I just wanted to check to ensure that it is actually running under my
userid before I tried anything else because if it is not running as me,
then nothing else I can do will succeed since my initial assumption is not
correct.  Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Greg
