Author  Topic  Ger Starting Member 11 Posts Posted - 2002-04-26 : 09:17:18 I'm developing an application in which I would like to get the current user's group, with this query: SELECT G.name as Fun FROM dbo.sysusers G INNER JOIN dbo.sysusers U ON G.uid = U.gid WHERE (U.name = USER_NAME()) The query runs fine from the enterprise manager. In the application (C++ Builder) I use a TQuery object, I assign the select statement, open the query and do a findfirst. Then when I try to retrieve the field "Fun" I get an exception saying that the field is not found. If I use a method to get the field names, "Fun" shows up, but I can't get the value. I made sure the username I log in with has select access to sysusers. Why does this happen? Any ideas? Any other way to get the group name? Thanks!
