HotXLS Docs

UserName property

Gets or sets the saved-by user name stored in the classic XLS WRITEACCESS record. Read/write WideString.

Syntax

property UserName: WideString;

Description

UserName is an alias for LastSavedBy. Both properties read and write the same classic XLS WRITEACCESS value, so applications can use the naming convention that best matches their existing code.
New workbooks return HotXLS until a caller assigns a value. Workbooks opened from an existing XLS file preserve the original WRITEACCESS bytes until either property is assigned. Assigned values are stored as UTF-16 and truncated to 54 characters so the fixed-width record body remains valid.

Example

This example stores an explicit audit user name before saving the workbook.

Workbook.UserName := 'Alice';
Workbook.SaveAs('C:\audit.xls');
