Question : Current Logged In User

Hi

I am using CRM 4.0 and want a straightforward way to return the current logged in user and write it to a textfield.

For example, fieldname is new_currentuser on the product form. When the form loads, it writes the current logged on user to new_currentuser.

I have seen many links to xml type script which have not worked. (Note: if the field needs to be lookup, let me know.)

Thanks

Answer : Current Logged In User

Hi apollo7,

Please see attached code.

Put it on onLoad event in product form. As of now it will load the value in the field you have asked for.

Let me know if you need more help with it.

Regards,
Chinmay
