select user name in list box after opening document

Hi,

As soon as the user opens the doucment I would like to have his/her name selected in the Mgr_name list box. I believe this needs to be done via section access. Thanks for the help.

There are two ways of doing this.

1) Section Access will reduce data selected accordingly the user

2) A simple action attached to OnOpen trigger using a Select in Field/Select Mgr_name and function OSUser() to return the logged username

Thanks, I was able to figure it out using section access and select field based on section access. The trigger & OSUser() option is a good alternative that I never thought of.
