Dear Smart People,

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not able to find the answer.

In Visual Basic, how may I find the name or system ID of the owner of the
currently active workbook?

I apologize if this is an "old" question but I've not been able to gleen the
answer.

Thank you!

Janet

Take a look at the BuiltInDocumentProperties to see if you can find what you
want there. I'm not sure you can get the "Owner", but you can find who last
modified the document.

Define the "owner". What are you looking for? HTH Otto

Maybe "Author" from Properties?

Sub test()
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Author")
End Sub
