I started writing my first simple App. there will only be a decision to be made between 2 options. As a Result there wil be printed a message box.   As I try to personalize the page I want wo print the current users name or ID like   Good Morning “R2D2” if R2D2 started the session or “C3PO” if the current users nane or ID is “C3PO”.    Don’t know how to manage this. Does anyone have some hints?   Kind Regards   Sigmund
