    hi,

    unfortunately does not work for nav 2013.

    it's done by the WSH (Windows Scripting Host).

    variables:

    - "wshNetworkInfo", Type: Automation, Subtype: 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshNetwork

    - "compName", Type: Text

    Code sample:

    CREATE(wshNetworkInfo);

    compName := wshNetworkInfo.ComputerName;

    CLEAR(wshNetworkInfo);

    properties of class WshNetwork:

    - UserDomain

    - UserName

    - UserProfile

    - ComputerName

    - Organization

    - Site

    for nav 5.0 function ENVIRON('COMPUTERNAME') works fine.

    For Dynamics NAV and Al development you can use the Active Session tabel. See function GetDatabaseIndicatorText in table 79:

    ActiveSession.SETRANGE("Server Instance ID",SERVICEINSTANCEID);

    ActiveSession.SETRANGE("Session ID",SESSIONID);

    ActiveSession.FINDFIRST;

    Text := ActiveSession."Database Name" + ' - ' + ActiveSession."Server Computer Name";
