Is there a method to prompt a user in an edit screen for input? For example, the system variable Application.userName is empty and I need to request that information.

Application.userName uses the string that appears after "User:" at the bottom of the Help>About DB/TextWorks dialog.

If you have DB/TextWorks version 4.2, you can use a Script Input Box in your edit form to obtain information from the user.

However, you may prefer to obtain the user's login name automatically. See the "Dynamic 'edited by'" script in the scripting library at http://www.inmagic.com/scriptlibrary.htm
