Try something like this:

Sub GetNetworkDomain()
Dim wsh
Set wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
MsgBox wsh.UserDomain
End Sub

I get an error can't create object.... is there a reference that needs to be
added?

I think it's the "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" (scrrun.dll).

i have that one referenced.. still doesnt' work.. and cant find it in the object
browser.. ( wscript)

userdomain is an environ element... try this and you can see what items you can
get from the environ... (modified from the help example

Sub environstring()

Dim EnvString, Indx, Msg, PathLen ' Declare variables.
Indx = 1 ' Initialize index to 1.
Do
EnvString = Environ(Indx) ' Get environment
' variable.
If Left(EnvString, 5) = "PATH=" Then ' Check PATH entry.
PathLen = Len(Environ("PATH")) ' Get length.
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet2").Range("A" & Indx).Value = EnvString
' Msg = "PATH entry = " & Indx & " and length = " & PathLen
' Exit Do
Else
Indx = Indx + 1 ' Not PATH entry,
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet2").Range("A" & Indx).Value = EnvString
End If ' so increment.
Loop Until EnvString = ""
If PathLen > 0 Then
MsgBox Msg ' Display message.
Else
MsgBox "No PATH environment variable exists."
End If

End Sub

I was able to copy and paste this as is
into a module and get it working.

yes that's the object it's trying to create isn't it.. wscript.network... or
am i completely turned around..?

Don't be too hard on him...when I program, I tend to use whatever is
handiest and easiest. Especially with vba sometimes I have to
branch out to other sources to quickly accomplish what I need.

For what it's worth, I'd say that most of my vba code projects have
some vbs code in them (sometimes vba just can't do certain things).
