UserNameList (NotesSession - LotusScript®)

Read-only. The name of the user or server that created the session, and the alternate name if it exists.

Note: This property is new with Release 5.

Note: This property is not implemented in COM.

Defined in

NotesSession

Data type

Array of NotesName objects

Syntax

To get: notesNameArray = notesSession .UserNameList
