I'm starting to look at some advanced concepts for Opus apps. One is not as much advanced as just beyond me.

I've studied the dll samples and can see a world of use for these functions. However, you appear to have to be a dll programmer to use them, unless there are standard commands for all dlls. While the Opus part is pretty straightforward, I haven't a clue, nor can I locate any references as to the commands to the dll.

Here is the situation:
We'll be using silent log in to access our LMS. Many of our field employees will share access to a computer for training purposes. Since the silent log in is going to do so in the name of the person logged on to the machine, it is inevitable that a student will sit down at a machine left by another and proceed to take a course in someone else's name.

So, I figured one could have the silent login button first run an Opus applet that would return a standards Windows Message box that would say "user logged in is XXXX XXXXXX. If you are not this person, please log off and back in"

I know you can get the current Windows user via accessing advapi32.dll, but have no clue as to what the script in Opus should read.

Opus has an in-built variable called SYSTEM_USERNAME that will return the user logged into Windows.

Duh...drool.

Thanks Mack...back to the Basics Forum for me.
