Detecting Device

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have read that there is a function to detect what kind of device it's being used.

Which one is it and how does it work?

Thanks!

you can check help

type System Functions in the help menu

you can find

OSuser()

QVuser()

ComputerName()

create a text object on a sheet and add =OSuser() and do the same for the other options and check the results

Don't forget the function ClientPlatform()

Hi, Juan.

I used:

right(ClientPlatform( ),6)='mobile' to identify mobile device from a laptop/desktop although on reflection, using index instead of right might be better.
