Hi All

I have this feeback subroutine to report from all the machines in our network. %%feedbackFolder is a common folder visable by all machines. The routine runs locally on each machine with administrator rights.
Code:

:feedBack
    list create,28
    list add,28,@datetime(ddd ddddd tam/pm)
    list add,28,@chr(32)
    list add,28,%1
    list savefile,28,%%feedbackFolder\@env(USERNAME)"--"@env(COMPUTERNAME).txt
    %x = @ok()
    wait
    list close,28
    if @null(%x)
        exit
    end
    exit 1

The @env(USERNAME) function is not returning anything in Windows 7 but works fine in XP. The text files are being created by Win7 but are missing the user's name. Does anyone know why?

Thanks

David.M

Your routine works on my Win7 x64 Ent. with both normal user and when run as admin. Are running your app as a service?

Code:
  %%feedbackFolder = C:\temp
:feedBack
    list create,28
    list add,28,@datetime(ddd ddddd tam/pm)
    list add,28,@chr(32)
    list add,28,%1
    list savefile,28,%%feedbackFolder\@env(USERNAME)"--"@env(COMPUTERNAME).txt
    %x = @ok()
    wait
    list close,28
    if @null(%x)
        exit
    end
    exit 1

Thanks for testing the routine everyone. The problem must be with McAfee A.V. or Privilege Guard which is our rights control s/w. I don't run this as a service, it runs from the All Users Startup folder. I'm going to uninstall McAfee from one of the problem machines and see what happens.

Thanks for all your help
