I would like to get the value of this field in a macro using ActiveDocument.GetLayout.AuthenticatedUser.</P><P>Unfortunately it appears there is a bug in QV9, this function then does not work. Is there another way to use the NTNAME in a macro ?</P><P></P><P>Thanks for your answers</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:11:54 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/API-function-getlayout/m-p/212280#M66293 2010-09-21T20:11:54Z API function getlayout https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/API-function-getlayout/m-p/212281#M66294 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Which release of QV9 are you using?
