Thank you...Almost all of the replies I had told me the same thing...to use
sys$login and sys$login_device, which is only gonna work for my area, (if I'm
using the program)
I guess it's not possible without sys privs, everyone else who didn't tell me
about sys$login has told me that it wasn't possible.

Thanks anyway...
