Hi Neil,
Your'e right of course.=20
I've come across a few sites where some of the ullname fields weren't
populated. Using @userid as a fallback isn't too bad ;-)

Not particularly in reply to your message, Rick, just that it's the
latest in the thread that I've seen...
When I wrote my initial script, I tended to use the @FULLNAME Kix macro,
and fallback to the @USERID macro, if @FULLNAME didn't produce anything
(it's not mandatory for those fields, for a user account). So if
possible I wrote the full name of the user to the Office user details,
or if not easily available, used the user account.
Just a thought, if the OP is writing his own script.
Neil
