selectseries3 variable problem

Question

hi , 
 i am trying to link the workspace/users to folders inside of users forlder. eg workspace/users/bob..... workspace/users/bill ect. 
 does anyone know the variable to set so it picks up the current logged on users name? so on microstation start up it doesnt have a list of all the different users but just one (that logged on user) 
 _USTN_USER = $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT)users/ ..... 
 is the varibale (_ENGINENAME)? 
 thanks in advance

 Windows environment variable USERNAME . Get its value in MicroStation VBA like this... 
 Dim user As String user = ActiveWorkspace.ConfigurationVariableValue ("USERNAME") Debug.Print "Current user '" & user & "'"

It should be enough to set 
 _USTN_USERNAME = username 
 (username comes from the environment) to set the logged in user. you might even set 
 _USTN_USER = $(_USTN_WORKSPACEROOT) $(_USTN_USERNAME)/ 
 to use a subdir for each user (results in using <workspaceroot>users\bob\bob.cfg if the logged in user is bob) 
 _ENGINENAME is to differ between MicroStation and Powerdraft (i.e.) currently used for interfaces (afaik) in mixed environments
