Hi, try with

OSUser()

you'll get the system username.

In this case you have to use a Section Access.

Hi ,

Use OSUser() - will get  system user name where server is located.

Yes, but you can build a decodification table:

|system_user_name|name_surname|

|test\agaizo|Alfonso Gaizo|

|test\jdoe|John Doe|

...

and use the field name_surname

And if you are into Visual Basic programming, you can write a macro that queries active directory for the FullName value that belongs to account test\agaizo.
