Ken,

The point is I don't want to use the windows login name. 

I am setting up a different login name for the fp application and would like to
track it while the person is using fp. When a user clicks on the application
icon, a compiled batch file is run using *report getting the user name and
password.  If the login is successful, they get a menu; otherwise  they are
returned to their desktop.

I need to be able to control the access level based on who is logged in.  Each
person using the system has an access level and once logged in, I would like to
make sure who it is.  Granted, the best way to do this would be a login for each
file(s) accessed but this is cumbersome.

Mark suggested using registry entry which is always an option but one would
prefer not to use.
