DB/TextWorks: simple Form Script to populate field with user name

The script below puts the user's Windows login name in a specific form box when the user creates a New Record using the edit form containing the script.

function onRecordNew()
{
var WSHNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
var szLoginName = WSHNetwork.UserName;
Form.boxes("boxEnteredBy").content = szLoginName;
}

The only other step is to ensure that you call the box you want populated with the user's login name "boxEnteredBy" on the Names tab of the Form Script dialog box.

This script requires that Windows Script Host be installed on the user's machine.

You can also have a substitution list on the field that transforms the login name to a prettier form of the name.

E.g., a subtitution list entry might look like:
