Hello world,

I am wanting to write a small MS Access 97 database to store the information of when a drawing is issued, keeping information in such as:

Drawing name,
issue,
description,
date of issue,
issued to,
issued by
comments.

"Date of issue" to be automaticaly put in (not sure how?)

"issued to" to be selected from a drop down list or overwritten. (I can do the dropdown, but overwriting?)

"issued by" to automaticaly be filled in by finding the windows username (yet overwritable). ((I have no idea where to start with this?)

Can anyone help or suggest ways of doing the ? marked bits above please.

Thankyou,
